Original post for Format Text [to HTML] Script can be found at https://www.castledragmire.com/Posts/Format_Text_[to_HTML]_Script.
Originally posted on: 10/10/14

After writing the documentation in plaintext format for DSQL just now, I needed to convert it into HTML for the project’s page. I’ve done this before manually and it’s always very daunting, so I decided to really quickly write a script to do most of the work for me, which can be downloaded here, or the code seen below.

It has the following:
  • Input text box with HTML data that is instantly shown as HTML in a below section when modified.
    Both sections take up half the vertical screen space
  • Undo/redo buffer for the text box (very primitive functionality)
  • “Open in new page” button, which opens a new window with just the HTML data (useful for validation [W3C or whatnot]).
    This is disabled by default because it is a dangerous option (XSS exploitable, so the script would need to be secured/password protected if this was on)
  • “Escape HTML” escapes HTML characters so they are not improperly interpreted (e.x. “<” becomes “&lt;”)
  • Listize:
    • Turns tabbed lists into HTML
    • For example:
      1
         2
         3
            4
      5
      would become:
      1
      • 2
      • 3
        • 4
      5


I realized while making the script that I should probably instead just start making my documentation in a markup (like GitHub’s) and then have that converted to HTML and text files. Oh well.
