[t2t] [Patch] Templates in txt2tags

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Some times ago, I suggest the possibility to use templates with txt2tags
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=499BDB6F.4000204%40cmi.univ-mrs.fr
As an attachment, here is a simple patch (against last svn) for this. It 
implements the specification T3, as it was called in my old post.

Basically, it adds an option to select a file, where there is a %(BODY)s 
macro that will be replaced that was is processed from the t2t markup.
This is way easier to tweak the default templates than using postprocs.
Just a warning for the LaTeX target, due to its special use in python, 
always double the %...

You can also use txt2tags macros for free in the template. Here is an 
example

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="generator" CONTENT="http://txt2tags.sf.net">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=%(ENCODING)s">

<!-- A lot of META, robot, IE hacks can be added -->

<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="%(STYLE)s">
<TITLE>%(HEADER1)s</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white" TEXT="black">

<IMG SRC="logo.png"></IMG>

<!-- html code for a nav bar -->

<P ALIGN="center"><CENTER><H1>%(HEADER1)s</H1>
<FONT SIZE="4">
<I>%(HEADER2)s</I><BR>
%(HEADER3)s
</FONT></CENTER>

%(BODY)s

(<a href="%%INFILE">source</a>)
</BODY>

Save it as template.html, then you go
txt2tags -T template -t html myfile.t2t

I have been using it for some times, and "it seems to work".
If the audience would like to share its thoughts on it...
