Plus4HTML Released!
Posted by Csabo on 2016-05-31
István Bozsik has just released v2.0 of Plus4HTML (a Windows tool). If the name sounds unfamiliar, it's because it was previously known as Plus4Lst. The new version is a complete rewrite:
  • There's a clean GUI now instead of a command line tool, with instant preview
  • The generated HTML files use a web-font and should pass markup validation
  • Syntax highlighting and many cool formatting options.
This is a very useful tool for programmers, if you liked the older version, you'll love this one. There's no installation needed, the included EXE is all you need. Be sure to check it out!
