To celebrate this very special date (it's real hard to keep a spare-time one-man project like txt2tags for that long), there's a new 2.5 version out there …

At July 26, 2001 the txt2tags version 0.1 was released.
It had six targets (txt, html, sgml, pm6, mgp, moin), command line was the only interface (with just one option -t), a few supported structures and marks, no translations, poor documentation, a dozen users, 461 lines of code.
