More DP -> PG toolchain notes

[Tom Morris]

The process to convert from a DP text with homegrown markup to an HTML file that can be submitted to PG is long, involved, and largely manual as illustrated by these checklists:

http://www.pgdp.org/~gm/ppgen_source/checklist_ppgen_gg.html

It looks like there are some new tools that some people are using 

ppgen - an HTML generator with homegrown markup language(!) - https://github.com/wf49670/ppgen

ppgen markup source examples - http://www.pgdp.org/~gm/ppgen_source/

ppgen markup generator - converts from DP output text to PPGEN markup - https://github.com/davem2/dp2ppgen

If you're wondering if an HTML file that you have was generated by ppgen, look for the following comment at the end:

There's another tool called PPQT which has HTML generation built in:

workflow - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ovgn8muzrn5nsku/AADUwS-k4iSYGilbqC0EYDgia/PPQT/suggested-workflow.rtf?dl=0

I'm not sure how widely used it is, but I'm guessing less than PPGEN.
