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 "<html>"
print "<head>"

# use the name of the inputfile
# as title

print "<title>" FILENAME "</title>"
print "</head>"

# The text is formatted
# already, so use <pre>

print "<body><pre>"}

# lines consisting of a number
# of dashes (more than 1) are
# replaced by a <hr>

/^---*$/ {print "<hr align=\"left\" width=" length "0 size=1>"; next}

# lines consisting of a number of equalsigns are replaced
# by a thick <hr>

/^===*$/ {print "<hr align=\"left\" width=" length "0 size=3>"; 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","<br>\ <br>\ <br>\ <br>")
print}

# At the end of the output,
# we must add some closing tags.

END {print "</pre></body>"}

Make this executable
(chmod a+x txt2html) and you're
ready to start converting your test files.

txt2html something.txt > something.html
