Text to HTML: Turn Plain Paragraphs Into Web-Ready Markup
Plain text is easy to write and awkward to publish. This converter gives it proper paragraph structure in one click.
What is the Text to HTML Converter?
Paste ordinary text and this converter wraps each blank-line-separated block in a paragraph tag, turning single line breaks into breaks inside the paragraph. It escapes angle brackets and ampersands first, so the text you type is shown as text rather than interpreted as markup. The result is ready to paste into a web page, an email template, or a content editor.
How to use it
- Paste or type your plain text in the box.
- Keep a blank line between paragraphs.
- Click Convert to HTML.
- Copy the HTML output and paste it where you need it.
Worked example
Converting a two-line greeting produces a single paragraph with a line break between the lines.
How do I convert plain text to HTML?
Paste the text, separate paragraphs with a blank line, and convert. Each block becomes a paragraph tag with its line breaks preserved.
Frequently asked questions
Does it escape HTML characters in my text?
Yes. Ampersands and angle brackets are escaped first, so typed markup appears as text instead of running as code.
How are line breaks handled?
A blank line starts a new paragraph, and a single line break inside a paragraph becomes a line break tag.
