Could you share some detail? What needs to be in html mode - some kind of software?

This will preformat text
but it's not too pretty.

On the most basic level, this will work, otherwise more info is needed as tedster asked.

Are you asking how to use your html editor, in which case we need to know which one you are using, or do you want to display a piece of html on your site?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your reply. What i want to do is to convert my text word into html format with url inserted. I'm not quiet sure what type of program should i need to operate this conversion. please advise

You might want to use a WYSIWYG html editor. There are free ones available on the net, just run a search for it.

Wait. What do you mean "with url inserted"? Are you talking about a complete document, or a list of strings that you want to convert into appropriately formatted links?

The quick-and-dirty way to convert a plain-text document into html is to globally replace all multiple line breaks with </p>\n\n<p> and then do some manual spot-cleaning. (Been there. Done that.) If you are not already reasonably comfortable with Regular Expressions, this is the time to learn.

Sourceforge has a txt2html Perl program that might be of use: [sourceforge.net...]

1- Change the Extention of page from txt to html.
2- Add <br /> to the place you want to start new line.
3- Now you may double click to the file and access your html file.
4- If you want to show it online you need domain name and hosting server.( Which need severel things to be learned! )

I would recommend using a style sheet to handle any break lines or webpage structure.
