Anyone able to recommend a freeware 'text to html' programme?
I want to convert plain text or word doc files to html. Don't want to us MS
Word's built in html converter due to the bloated code it generates.

Thanks

dadiOH: again, short line, good sig.
Like I said in a previous post, it seems when your OE/OE-Quotefix-combo
doesn't have to wrap lines, your sig is fine.
So, the solution seems to be to say as little as possible ;).

NoteTab Light is the ultimate free Notepad replacement and a capable HTML
editor. A slimmer version of the award-winning NoteTab Pro, this slick
application makes text editing a breeze. Move quickly around a stack of
large files with a simple tabbed interface. Format your text to your heart's
content. Write with the font of your choice, fixed-width or proportional.

I usually find myself using Interparse4 <http://interparse.com/> to
convert text to html (and vs). It has lots of options and features and
is about the most capable tool I can think of for text morphing tasks.

Save Word files as "Web page filtered". Load the html into
Dreamweaver MX and use "Commands, Clean up Word HTML", followed
by "Commands, Clean up HTML" - to remover Span and Div, then it
should just involve a few more simple global search and replaces
to completely get rid of the remaining bloat.

The quickest way I have of turning text into HTML is to just
paste it into an new blank GoLive HTML file in layout mode and
then to remove all the <br>s. That doesn't work with Dreamweaver
because it doesn't create <p>s like GoLive does.

Of course, this is all sacrilidge, talking about commercial apps
in this forum.
 
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations and work arounds.
Much appreciated.
I shall be busy trialling all the software this weekend!

Regards
