I keep hearing about these program that convert Text to HTML. I guess that I
am the only one (or at least I don't hear about others) who maintains mine in
HTML - and then have to convert it to "text" (with semi-reasonable
indentation, spaces, etc). I have written a program to help me with this (in
COBOL of course - as it IS the "COBOL FAQ") - but it does "amuse me" when I
hear about the other direction.
