Doco is a simple but feature rich and powerful markup language for converting text documents into highly-presentable and navigable web content.

DupRem is a simple easy-to-use cross-platform application to remove duplicate and empty lines from any text file. It is also possible to keep or ignore case sensitive. Works also from command-line interface, e.g. "java -jar duprem.jar -r input_file.txt >output_file.txt", to create output file, or "java -jar duprem.jar -r input_file.txt >>output_file.txt", to create or append to output file. DupRem is portable, does not need installation and is developed in Java, so needs the Java Virtual Machine (version 6 or higher) that, in the case, is very easy to download and install.

FileCut is a simple easy-to-use cross-platform application to cut to a given line and then join any text file. It is also possible to join in normal or reverse order. Works also from command-line interface, e.g. 'java -jar filecut.jar -c file.txt . 10', to cut 'file.txt' at line 10, and 'java -jar filecut.jar -j . >file.txt', to join files in the current directory in 'file.txt'. FileCut is portable, does not need installation and is developed in Java, so needs the Java Virtual Machine (version 6 or higher) that, in the case, is very easy to download and install.

Project Homepage is moved to http://cjkpython.i18n.org/

A Ruby file parser/interpreter/preprocessor that comments lines of code based on conditions at the time the file is required. Very handy to implement debugging logs and code that has to be commented (not just dynamically switched off).

SubLin is a simple easy-to-use cross-platform application to subtract lines of any text file from another. It is also possible to keep or ignore case sensitive. Works also from command-line interface, e.g. "java -jar sublin.jar -s file1.txt file2.txt >new_file1.txt", to create output file "new_file1.txt", or "java -jar sublin.jar -s file1.txt file2.txt >>new_file1.txt", to create or append to output file "new_file1.txt". SubLin is portable, does not need installation and is developed in Java, so needs the Java Virtual Machine (version 6 or higher) that, in the case, is very easy to download and install.
