DokkeNou

Marvelous Introduction
======================
Dokkenou is a tool that enables you to write plain text documents with
certain 'style'-guidelines, and then later convert it to a beautifully
typesetted TeX document automatically. If you don't know what TeX is,
this utility is of little use to you.
even better subsection
----------------------
As an example, this document is written in dokkenou-style. If you translate
this with dokkenou from .txt to .tex, you'll see what each feature does:
> 1> dokkenou dokkenou.txt
the result will be a `dokkenou.tex', which can be translated to .dvi the
usual way. Commandline options:
> TEXT/A,TEXFILE,TABWIDTH/K/N,STYLE,A4/S,A4COL/S:
If `TEXFILE' isn't given, dokkenou automatically replaces the .txt in `TEXT'
into .tex. `TABWIDTH' is important, since dokkenou has to calculate indents
for itemize etc. default is 8. With `STYLE' you can set the TeX `\documentstyle',
and with `A4' and `A4COL' you can set page-size to A4 (with or without columns).
features of dokkenou
********************
* auto-line layout a la TeX, paragraph splits by two linefeeds, heavy splits by
more than two linefeeds.
* itemize, as demonstated by this feature list. also nested:
- even nested
* sub-nested
* no big deal
- if indented more than encapsulating itemize, and starting with `*' or `-'
in toggle-mode
- itemize automatically ends if text follows with lower indentation level.
* chapters, sections and subsections underlined with `=====', `-----' and `*****'
as shown by this text
* verbatim for blocks of text, and inline `verbatim'
> for n=1 to 10
> print n
> end
* footnotes: A gnu [a wonderful african animal]
* _emphasized_ and *bold*
* usage of TeX special chars without problems: # $ % & ~ _ ^ { }
* title/author/date (3 lines, see top of this text)
