doyleDoes anybody know of a good shareware or freeware program that converts text into HTML? Nothing fancy, I just need it to put paragraph breaks in. (This is why my website never gets updated, because I hate coding.)
ETA: and while I'm asking questions, a fic one. The character Jonathan Woodward played in Firefly - is his name spelled Tracy or Tracey? Google brings up pretty even numbers of matches for both.

on 2004-10-25 06:26 am (UTC)I should've said, it's what I use to *write* as well as mark-up, and it's got libraries of tags and templates and it's geeky heaven. For paragraph breaks, I search ^p^p and replace with [/p]^[p].

on 2004-10-25 06:38 am (UTC)Assuming that you have Emacs and standard key-bindings,
META-% for search-replace
CNTRL-Q for special character
CNTRL-J the special character is a carriage return
CNTRL-Q CNTRL-J again because you're probably denoting paragraphs by separating them with a blank line
RETURN to end search string
CNTRL-Q CNTRL-J CNTRL-Q CNTRL-J [p]
RETURN to end replace string
Uh, does that help? I only mentioned Emacs because that's the text editor used by the physicists and mathematicians I know. Like me, for example :)

on 2004-10-25 06:55 am (UTC)Then using emacs for this would be like going nuclear on a bug. I've used it for a dozen years and much of it is still vast, uncharted depth to me. It's about as user-friendly as learning Unix or Linux from scratch, with different modes for different programming languages, shell scripts, LaTeX, html etc. It's not small or compact but it's pretty damn near all-encompassing. You might want to look at it anyway, but not for this. It's part of the Gnu open-source project: try gnu.org, emacs.org or xemacs.org.

Also, in the transcripts (which I think are copied directly from the script) it says Tracey too.
