Bug#533819: ITP: xfpt -- generate XML from plain text



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : xfpt
  Version         : 0.06
  Upstream Author : Philip Hazel
  License         : GPLv2+
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : generate XML from plain text

xfpt is a program that reads a file of plain text that contains
relatively simple markup, and outputs an XML file. It is intended to
simplify the management of XML data. It is not a program that attempts
to turn a plain text document into XML. Markup within text is
introduced by ampersand characters, but is otherwise "soft". You can
define what follows the ampersand, for example, &" to generate a
"quote" element. There is also a macro facility that allows for higher
level concepts such as chapters, displays, tables, etc.


xfpt is used for building exim's documentation.
