Convert TEXT2HTML

Ever felt the need to convert a text file to html?

Create a file named txt2html with the following contents

# Always start the output with
#an html header

BEGIN {print ""
print ""

# use the name of the inputfile
# as title

print "" FILENAME ""
print ""

# The text is formatted
# already, so use 



         print "
"}



# lines consisting of a number 

# of dashes (more than 1) are 

# replaced by a 




/^---*$/  {print "
"; next}



# lines consisting of a number of equalsigns are replaced

# by a thick 




/^===*$/  {print "
"; next}



# less than and greater than 

# sign must me replaced by tags.



          {gsub("<","\<")

          gsub(">","\>")



# Replace form feeds by a 

# couple of empty lines



gsub("^L","
\ 
\ 
\ 
")

                print}



# At the end of the output, 

# we must add some closing tags.



END            {print "
"}



Make this executable 

(chmod a+x txt2html) and you're 

ready to start converting your test files.



txt2html something.txt > something.html
