= Introduction =

You've been using [txt2tags http://txt2tags.sf.net] 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 http://python.org/] 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 http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/iPKG].
The packages distributed here should work with the [Sharp Zaurus ROM http://www.sharpusa.com/zaurus/], [OpenZaurus http://www.openzaurus.org], the [Familiar Distribution for IPaqs http://familiar.handhelds.org/] 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 src/] for download, if you want.
  I'll probably move to [Python for arm-linux from Vanille.De http://www.vanille.de/projects/python.spy] 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

- Download the ipk file [here src/]

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