journaltxt
Journal.TXT presents a single-text-file format for keeping journals, with dated entries shown in its example.
About journaltxt
Journal.TXT defines a plain-text format for keeping a journal, diary, or blog in a single file made of metadata and text blocks. Dates use year, month, week, day, or julian fields, with the first entry requiring a full date and later entries only noting what changes; year, month, and title can also come from the filename, and entries receive automatic day-count titles.
The same file can hold tweet or toot blocks for single-source publishing when a Journal.TXT processor is configured to auto-build a blog and post updates. Custom title formatting is noted as future work, and the format itself is dedicated to the public domain.
Key features
- Keep journal, diary, or blog in one plain text file
- Date entries with year, month, week, day, or julian fields
- Omit unchanged date parts; later entries inherit prior values
- Derive year, month, and title from filename conventions
- Auto-generate entry titles with day count and date
- Embed tweets or toots for single-source blog publishing
Best for: Writers who want to keep journals, diaries, or blogs as plain text files.

journaltxt FAQ
How do I date entries in Journal.TXT?
Put a full year, month, and day in the first metadata block, then in later entries include only what changes, such as the day.
Do journal entries need titles?
No. Entries are auto-titled with day count and date, and the filename can supply the journal title.
Can one file produce a blog and tweets?
Yes. Tweet or toot blocks in .texti format can be included so a configured processor auto-builds the blog and posts new tweets from the same file.
