Texy is a text-to-XHTML formatter and converter library that allows you to write structured documents without knowledge of or using the HTML language. You write documents in easy-to-read plain text format and Texy converts it to structurally and valid (X)HTML code. No knowledge of HTML is required.
Texy is one of the most complex formatting tools. It allows adding of images, links (anchors), nested lists, tables and has full support for CSS and UTF-8.
It supports hyphenation of long words (which reflects language rules), clickable emails and URL (emails are obfuscated against spambots), national typographic single and double quotation marks, ellipses, em dashes, dimension sign, nonbreakable spaces (e.g. in phone numbers), acronyms, arrows and many others. Special attention is paid to locale specifications.
Texy requires PHP 5.1 or higher.
