Text to HTML Formatter

This tool converts plain text and light markup into valid HTML. It targets developers, editors, and CMS teams who need repeatable HTML blocks for web content without manual tagging. The output supports basic paragraphs, lists, and simple inline formatting, with an option to produce a full HTML document. It emphasizes deterministic results and safe escaping to avoid injection issues. The transformation is designed to be predictable, making it suitable for templates, CMS imports, and automated pipelines. It does not attempt full Markdown parsing or CSS generation, focusing on reliable structure that can be easily integrated into existing workflows.

Processing rules are implemented as a lightweight parser. Line-based input is examined for headings (lines starting with #), lists (lines starting with - or *), and blank lines that separate blocks. Inline cues like **bold** and *italic* are converted to and , while [text](url) becomes an text link. HTML-unsafe characters are escaped. In semantic mode, elements are chosen to maximize accessibility; in basic mode, the output is simpler; in full mode, a minimal HTML document wrapper is added. The emphasis is on producing clean, portable HTML that can be pasted into content systems or used as part of templates.
