txt2html is a tool for converting text files to HTML.
Written as a exercise in writing a simple syntax parser.
The goal is to be simple and not to create set of syntax rules for
another markup language - just to take conventions commonly found in
.txt files and convert them to HTML.
Which has just resulted in a subset of Markdown anyway.
If you're looking for a good tool that does the same job, I'd recommend cmark (https://github.com/commonmark/cmark).
