If you run xtxt2typ without any parameters you will get some help on the different possible parameters. The descriptions are quite terse - but nothing too complex - play with them to get to know them.
One thing you should do with the text you want to type:
- Put the title of the text in the first line
- Start every line containing a title of a new chapter with a marking (the default is
__chapter__)
One pitfall: if the lines are too long in the textfile gtypist will not work with the result. If this happens to you send the textfile through a filter like fmt or something comparable...
xtxt2typ INTERESTING_TEXT.xtxt
converts the textfile to a gtypist lesson file, which you can use like this:
gtypist INTERESTING_TEXT.typ
