There's a Python 3 version of txt2tags, branched from 2.6. Some features
are lost (as is the manpage), I wonder if it would be worth switching to
get away from py2 though?

 "Removed features (GUI, macros, i18n, translations,
 ASCII Art/PageMaker/XHTML targets) and only supports
 UTF-8 files, to achieve easier maintenance (see changelog)."

(if not, the @sample change fixes a ports bug).
