About the Text to HTML

Pasting a Word document or plain text into a website collapses paragraphs and breaks special characters. This converter turns plain text into clean, valid HTML in one pass, escaping characters like <, > and &. Choose <p> wrapping, <br> line breaks, or optional linkification that makes web addresses clickable. A live preview shows the rendered result beside the generated code.

Special characters that would break markup, like ampersands, angle brackets and curly quotes, are escaped into their correct HTML entities.

No cruft

The output is plain, dependency-free HTML with no inline styling or proprietary cruft, so it inherits your site's design automatically.
