Atox is a fully customizable tool for converting plain text to XML. Analoguous to XSLT processors, the Atox command line program uses a simple XML language to describe the format of the input text and the desired transformations and tagging.

Installation:

To install, run

python setup.py install

To install the atox script in a specific directory, such as
/usr/local/bin, run

python setup.py install --install-scripts=/usr/local/bin

For help on various install options, run

python setup.py install --help

For general help on the distutils script, run

python setup.py --help

To uninstall atox, run

python setup.py uninstall

Note: The uninstall command is experimental (and not part of the standard distutils package). If you used the --install-scripts option you may have to remove the script manually.

To use Atox, run

atox -f format.xml input.txt > output.xml

where format.xml is an Atox format description.
