*Convert Your Text Into HTML with [AscToHTM]*

JafSoft Limited has released [AscToHTM] version 4.0 for 
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000, a program that converts plain text 
files (.txt) into good looking HTML web pages in seconds.

[AscToHTM] converts text files using advanced text-recognition 
algorithms that detect the document's structure.  It recognizes 
headings, bullets, lists, indentation, URLs, tables, ASCII art and 
much more.  The resulting HTML faithfully reflects the structure of 
the original document.

This easy-to-use program adds value to the HTML e.g. by turning URLs 
into hyperlinks and adding color to your pages.  It can generate a 
hyperlinked contents list from your headings, split large files into
a set of linked pages, or place your HTML in a set of frames.  These 
extra features make the software ideal for use as an authoring 
tool as well as a conversion tool.

Novice users will appreciate how easy it is to quickly generate HTML - 
just choose the files to be converted, press a single button and 
the results are displayed in your browser.  

Power users will love the control that they can exercise over such 
things as title, colors, <META> tags, style sheets and a myriad of 
other aspects of HTML production.  For efficiency, your selected 
options may be saved in "policy files" for reuse next time you run 
the program.

Whether you are a business user that wants to place key documents and 
reports on your Intranet, or a budding author who wishes to publish 
your prose as good-looking e-books, this software will save you many 
hours of effort.  The extensive documentation will guide you through 
the program's many features.

Version 4.0 introduces support for frames generation; copying the 
HTML generated directly to the windows clipboard; and allowing 
user-supplied HTML fragments to be used to customize the HTML 
generated by the program.

[AscToHTM] costs $40(US) for a single user license.  Site licenses 
are available.  The software is made available free of charge to Usenet 
FAQ maintainers.
