Grutatxt is a plain text to HTML (and other formats) converter. It succesfully converts subtle text markup of lists, bold, italics, tables and headings to their corresponding HTML, troff, man page or LaTeX markup without having to write unreadable source text files. Grutatxt is a Perl module and a command line utility, and is the main text renderer in the Gruta CMS. The output drivers currently supported by Grutatxt are: HTML, troff (me macros), man and LaTeX.
