With the wealth of HTML authoring tools for the Mac, anyone can create their own web pages. But learning an authoring package takes time, and you may not need all the bells and whistles that a full-blown package contains. Fellow Observer Michael Hanna made us aware of the SimpleText2Html package, which allows you to quickly create pages from text files. Simply drag a text file over the program's icon, and an HTML file is quickly generated. You can set your preferred browser in the Preferences, so that double-clicking on the output file will launch your browser, load and display the file for you. Things get interesting if you have images embedded in your text files. You can choose from JPEG or GIF conversion for images, and even specify a directory URL where the images will be stored. This is useful if you're into using a common directory for storing images. For the adventurous, there is support for StyleSheets. You can also customize the footer text, which defaults to a shareware notice until you pay your fee. You could edit this out of the HTML, but it would make you a bad person, and we'd have to send out the Observer Goon Squad to beat you up. AppleScript support is also available. For those who have lots of existing content they want to convert, or those who need nothing more powerful than SimpleText, the SimpleText2Html package will have you publishing in no time. Useful Link
