Introduction

You've been using txt2tags for some time and now you want to write everything using its tags. And you would love to work on your t2t docs, and convert them, while waiting on the line or on the train on your way back home. Now you can ! Here you find txt2tags ready to be installed in any embedded system that uses ipk packages. Because txt2tags is a Python script it should run on any Linux handheld, no matter what architecture, as long as Python itself is available and the distribution uses the Itsy Package Management System. The packages distributed here should work with the Sharp Zaurus ROM, OpenZaurus, the Familiar Distribution for IPaqs and others.

Instructions

• If you haven't done so, get Python on your PDA.

  Python for the Zaurus

  I'm using a package from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/zaurus/index.php but Riverbank is not supporting the Python port for the Zaurus anymore. But I'll keep a copy here for download, if you want. I'll probably move to Python for arm-linux from Vanille.De as it looks more complete and up to date. There is also a package at http://www.awaretek.com/pythonforzaurus.html

  Zope for the Zaurus

  Or you could get really fancy and get Zope for your Zaurus( Yes !! You can run Zope on the Zaurus !) that includes a Python distribution which is said to be more complete than others. http://www3.telus.net/stauft/zaurus/z2.html

  Python for the Familiar Distribution

  Search for the packages at http://ipkgfind.handhelds.org/

• For Python distributions for other plataforms(Palm, Psion, Windows CE/Pocket PC, etc) visit : http://www.python.org/download/download_other.html

• At the moment you can only use txt2tags on the command line.
