Yes. It would actually be quite simple. Far be it from me, however, to
discourage someone from writing his own Vim script. Still, if you did
want the added flexibility of Txtfmt in your files (e.g., being able
to highlight a piece of text with bold, italic, blue fg, and red bg
all at the same time), there are at least two simple ways to convert
your existing files...
-- Method #1 --
:%s/<A>/\=nr2char(0xE005)/g
:%s/<B>/\=nr2char(0xE007)/g
:%s/<D>/\=nr2char(0xE002)/g
:%s/<E>/\=nr2char(0xE003)/g
:%s/<\/[ABDE]>/\=nr2char(0xE000)/g
-- Method #2 --
:set ft=txtfmt
:%s/<A>/\=Txtfmt_GetTokStr("cred")/g
:%s/<B>/\=Txtfmt_GetTokStr("cyellow")/g
:%s/<D>/\=Txtfmt_GetTokStr("cblue")/g
:%s/<E>/\=Txtfmt_GetTokStr("cgreen")/g
:%s/<\/[ABDE]>/\=Txtfmt_GetTokStr("c-")/g
The latter method uses a function defined by the Txtfmt plugin; hence,
you would need to set filetype to txtfmt first...
