Comments for Grutatxt
That's a great little utility!
Angel,
thank you very much for that great little thing! I will use this daily from now. It was my Freshmeat discovery of the month! (The other one was how I could print during an NX/NoMachine remote session without the software actually supporting it officially -- but that's a different story...)
The "source format" is very close to the style I am writing my drafts anyway. Most of my documents start as ASCII text. I prefer it because I can easier paste it into emails, for discussions with friends. Once a draft was pretty finished, I used to add the markup with Vim. Now your tool saves me a lot of time. I like it very much... ;-)
Even greater is that you are going to add OpenOffice file format support! I am really looking forward to this!
All the best, and thanks again!
Kurt
P.S.: what is the story behind the peculiar name of it? Somehow I keep thinking that grutatxt could become more popular more quickly if your "marketing department" could come up with a name that is easy to remember, spell and pronounce.... ;-)

I'm glad you find it useful. Future versions will include more output formats, as OpenOffice.org Writer documents or man pages. Stay tuned.

Thank you very much! This is the very same reason why I did Grutatxt; it uses exactly the same format I use when writing drafts and emails.

:-) The strange name has its origin in a bigger project, Gruta (spanish for Grotto), that was to be a big web application combining a CMS and a hierarchical notepad for workgroups, not too different from FAQ-O-Matic. 'Grutatxt' was just the text processing module. The CMS drifted to another project (with a name change), and the workgroup thing just got left into oblivion.
Anyway, I'll forward your message to the marketing department, for them to fix it ;-)
Thanks again,
Angel
