        pyth - Python text markup and conversion
        ========================================
        
        Pyth is intended to make it easy to convert marked-up text between different common formats.
        
        *Marked-up text* means text which has:
        
        * Paragraphs
        * Headings
        * Bold, italic, and underlined text
        * Hyperlinks
        * Bullet lists
        * Simple tables
        * Very little else
        
        
        Formats I initially want to support are:
        
        * xhtml
        * rtf
        * pdf (output)
        
        
        These three formats cover web, Word / OpenOffice, and print. 
        
        
        Design principles
        =================
        
        * Ignore unsupported information in input formats (e.g. page layout)
        * Ignore font issues -- output in a single font.
        * Ignore specific text sizes -- support relative sizes (bigger, littler) only. Output in a single base size.
        * Have no dependencies unless they are written in Python, and work
        * Make it easy to add support for new formats, by using an architecture based on *plugins* and *adapters*.
        
        
        
        Examples
        ========
        
        See http://github.com/brendonh/pyth/tree/master/examples/
        
        
        Unit tests
        ==========
        
        The sources contains some unit tests (written using python unittest
        module) in the 'tests' directory.
        
        To run the tests we can either run them individually as python script,
        either use `python nose`_.  If using nose then we just need to go into
        the tests directory and invoke nosetest from there (make sure that
        pyth module is in PYTHONPATH).
