At least for me the text to HTML convertion was the natrual course of
events - I started with short article I posted in reply to the frequent
request for basic information about TCP/IP, without even knowing HTML.
Later on the short article (which I kept as a text file) grew in size
(I worried that two pages were two much, then four, ... I plan to do
a cleanup now that it's 22 pages) and popularity (HTMLized by Michael
Hunter, E-mails suggesting I turn it into a FAQ, ...), until finally
I decided to make a web page out of it myself.
Maybe I'll turn it into an orderly web page and convert it to text
in the future, as it's big enough already, but at least until now
this is how things happened for me.
