texy! is a lightweight markup language as well as converter of this format to xhtml, in a form of a library written in the php scripting language. it allows the user to write structured documents without knowledge or using of html language. users write documents in humanreadable text format and texy! converts it to structurally valid and wellformed xhtml code.
texy! format includes tags for turning off the formatter as well as for direct css styling, thus it can be said it fully supports html and css. the format itself supports images, links (anchors), nested lists, and tables, among other things.
also built in, is a support of long words division (with respect for language rules), rollover images, clickable emails and url (emails are obfuscated against spambots) and autocorrect tool for several typographic issues: national single and double quotation marks, ellipses, em dashes, dimension sign, nonbreakable spaces (e.g. in phone numbers), acronyms, arrows and many others.
php implementation of texy! has been developed by david grudl since 2004. it runs on php version 4.3.3 or newer and it can be used in any other platform using xml/rpc service. current stable version is 2.4. version 3.0 is planned. texy! is distributed under the gnu general public license. plugins for several contentmanagement systems are included. java implementation, named jtexy, is under development.
