This software distribution is a bunch of tools to deal with structured text (Stx). Stx is a kind of plain text format with semantic markup. Stx is documented in:
Of some interest may be also Accreditions of ideas behind structured text.
There are a homepage (currently in the author's wiki), and a distribution page at http://sange.fi/~atehwa/ for this project. You can contact the author at mailto:atehwa@sange.fi.
The following tools are included:
Usage:messages and manual pages from the same source.
A traditional make && make install will do. You can override the make variable PREFIX to install somewhere else than /usr. Other variables you might want to override include EMACSDIR and MANDIR. Take a look at the Makefile.
The installation process of stx2any normally uses w3m to produce
usage
messages from Stx. If you don't want to install w3m, you
can give make the option BUILD_USAGE_WITH=plain to avoid using
w3m. The only consequence is that usage
messages (the output of
stx2any --help, for instance) will look cruder.
If you have a debian box, you can build a debian package directly by saying fakeroot debian/rules binary and installing the resulting package with dpkg -i.
