Here's a handy little tool for converting those odd bits of text into
HTML, for quick adds to your web page(s). Text2Web presents a single control window that
makes it simple to target your source text for conversion, from either clipboard or
selected text-file. A single button click, and the text is instantly converted, complete
with the formatting tags, to be exported to the clipboard as either HTML body text, or
stand-alone HTML web-page content (header tag would be included in this case). Just paste
the text-to-HTML product from clipboard to destination web-page, using your favorite HTML
editor. And that's it. (I used Text2Web in combination with my clipboard-enhancer program,
so I could convert and store a whole batch of text-to-HTML snippets there, before firing
up the editor.)
This version of Text2Web will now generate true HTML lists, and integrates the clipboard
support. Depending on your selected options, you can create stand-alone web pages, as well
as insertions for existing web pages. For new web-pages, Text2Web gives your font and
point-size options for the HTML output, and handles line- and column-sensitive text (such
as tables and lists). The Pro version will generate HTML tables and link-selection boxes
from comma-separated lists.
Operation of this tool doesn't need a whole lot of explaining, and text-to-HTML conversion
is all it does. But this thing really works like a charm, and if you want to save time on
tedious marking-up of web page insertions, Text2Web is going to become one of your small
treasures.
Text2Web is free and yours to keep. Or you can upgrade to the Text2Web Pro version for
$15.95, which also offers a floating toolbar option for added working convenience. (Just
click on the Upgrade button inside the freeware program for instructions.) Both editions
of Text2Web require VB4 runtimes, and if needed, you may download the file vb40032.zip
from the product's download page. Orders are accepted via major credit card, money order,
postal order, check, and cash -- see the product web site for ordering details. Support is
available for registered users only.
