Question

The authors (Jasmin Blanchette & Mark Summerfield) of C++ GUI Programming with Qt has disclosed production details at the end of the book.

Quote:

The authors wrote the text using NEdit and Vim. They typeset and
indexed the text themselves, marking it up with a modified Lout syntax
that they converted to pure Lout using a custom preprocessor written
in Python.

References:

• Lout official Website
• Wikipedia article on Lout

My question:

Can somebody point to me where I can find details on such grammar derived from Lout along with its accompanying tool written in Python (a preprocessor)?

Edit:

Using any substitute of Lout is not an option.

Answer 1

I found txt2tags in Google code.

• It targets Lout.
• It’s written in Python.
