To place a shortcut to Text2Html on your desktop select File|Create Desktop Icon from the main menu.
Using Test2Html at the Command Line
Text2Html can be run from the command line. To convert a text file to HTML simply pass the path to the text file
and the HTML file. For example:
Text2Html.exe C:\textfile.txt D:\htmlfile.html
This converts the text file, textfile.txt, to an HTML format file, htmlfile.html.
Note that when using long path names containing spaces, you must enclose the entire path in double quotes. For
example:
Text2Html.exe "C:\My Documents\textfile.txt" "D:\My Documents\htmlfile.html"
Changing Text2Html Preferences
To configure Text2Html choose File|Preferences from the main menu to open the Preferences screen. After making
changes press the OK button to save the changed preferences or press Cancel to cancel the changes made. To revert
to the default preferences, check the Restore Defaults box.
Changing HTML Attribute Colours
The default colours for the HTML background, text and links in the converted HTML files can easily be changed.
Simply choose the desired colour for the attribute by selecting it from the associated pull-down list.
Disable Save As Prompt
By default, a dialog will pop up to allowing you to change the converted name of every file converted. To turn
off this feature, uncheck the Confirm Filename check box. Now no dialog box will be seen after a conversion, and
converted files will have the same name as the text file but with a .html extension.
Disable Text2Html Hyperlink
By default a hyperlink to the Text2Html web page is added at the end of each converted file. To turn off this
feature uncheck the Add Text2Html Hyperlink check box. Now no Text2Html Hyperlink will be seen at the end of each
converted file.
First Line is Title Option
By default the first line in the text file is treated as the title for the converted HTML document. To disable
this feature simply uncheck the First Line is Title check box.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. I tried to convert a Word document but it did not work. What am I doing wrong?
A. As the name implies Text2Html converts text files to HTML format. Word documents are not text files. Your word
processor should already contain an export to HTML feature.
Feedback
Please feel free to contact us regarding any suggested improvements.
Because this is free software we can't always guarantee a prompt response or even any response at all. However,
all feedback is greatly appreciated. Those who suggest improvements will be notified when the improvements are
incorporated into a new version of this software.
Y2K
CyberMatrix is aware of Year 2000 (Y2K) issues and has taken steps to ensure its programs and its customers will
be minimally affected by the Y2K.
In software, Y2K issues can arise in two situations: User date entry and internal date manipulation by programs.
All CyberMatrix software has been carefully designed to use only four-digit dates for all code involved with date
manipulation. Furthermore, where date entry is required in a program, the user is forced to enter dates having
four-digit years.
The Text2Html program requires no user date entry and contains no internal date manipulation. Thus no Y2K related
problems could ever be experienced by merely using this software.
Text2Html was built with Borland Delphi
