About Plain Text to HTML Converter
Pasting plain text into an HTML template requires wrapping each paragraph in tags and escaping special characters. This tool automates both steps. Paste plain text where blank lines separate paragraphs — the tool splits on double newlines, trims each paragraph, escapes &, <, and > to their HTML entities, converts single newlines within a paragraph to br tags, and wraps each paragraph in your chosen tag. Three tag buttons let you choose p (standard paragraph), div (block container), or span (inline). The output is ready to paste directly into HTML. Developers building email templates, content editors preparing text for a CMS, and anyone converting plain text to HTML markup are the primary users. Runs entirely in your browser.
