Without knowing which format you try to convert as âplain textâ, it is hard to tell what you need to do, or if it is even possible at all. 1 Reply Last reply.

You can create a Web page on your desktop computer but nobody can see it butyou. If your want other people to be able to see your Web pages, you needan account a computer that has a Web server. Nowadays most people havetheir own computers on their desks, but normally they don't have Web serversand anyway you don't want the whole world coming into your desktop computerto see your web page because (a) it's not designed for that, and (b) whoknows what else they might see. And (c) for security reasons, Web serversshould be managed by professionals. Most institutions have big centralshared computers for this purpose, which usually havea Unix-like operatingsystem such as Linux. You need an account on one of these so you can putyour web pages there. If you don't have access to such a computer, you can geta low-cost account on a service like Panix.com.
You can still create Web pages on your own computer and look at them withyour computer's Web browser, but for other people to see them, you have toupload them to the 'big' computer that has the Web browser. The rest ofthis document is about how to create your first Web page.
1. Creating a Web PageThis page was typed by hand. Anybody can do this, you don't need anyspecial 'web creation' tools or HTML editors, and the pages you make can beviewed from any browser. To see how this page was made, chooseView Source (or View Page Source, or View Document Source) in yourbrowser's menu (or â in at least Chrome and Firefox â Ctrl-U onyour keyboard). A simple web page like this one is just plain text withHTML commands (markup) mixed in. HTML commands (properly called 'tags')themselves are plain text.
When you're just learning and want to experiment, you can do everything onyour PC. Create a new directory ('folder') for your website, and then putthe web-page files (HTML plus any pictures) in it. Use NotePad or otherplain-text editor (not word processor) on your PC to create your 'home page',a file namedindex.html, which you can view locally with your Webbrowser. (You can also use word processors such as Word or WordPad if yousave in 'plain text', 'text', 'text document', or 'text document MS-DOSformat'.)Later I'll explain how you can install your web site onthe Internet.
Once you've made your 'home page' (index.html) you can add more pages toyour site, and your home page can link to them.
2. HTML SyntaxWeb pages are written in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). HTML has threespecial characters:<, &, >.An HTML command is enclosed in <..>![]()
produces:
This sentence contains bold text.
A Web page starts with a series of HTML commands, and ends witha few more. The contents go in between:
(Contents go here)
The first line (DOCTYPE) specifies which markuplanguage the page uses(HTML = Hypertext MarkupLanguage); just copy this line. The nextline, <html>, starts the page, and is matchedby the last line, </html>, which closes thepage. <head>, starts the heading, whichcontains a title to be displayed on the browser's title bar and adeclaration of the character set (nowadays it should always beUTF-8) and the 'viewport'line which is a compulsory adaptation for cell phones, 'smart' watches, etc.</head> closes the heading.
The <body> tag starts the body of thedocument, is closed by </body> tag.
As you can see, most HTML commands come in begin-end pairs:<b>..</b>,<head>..</head>, etc. The closing part of the commandhas a slash (/) between the < and the first letter ofthe command.
Blank lines and line breaks are ignored. The browser automatically 'flows'your text into lines and paragraphs that fit in its window. Paragraphs mustbe separated by <p>. Line breaks can be forced by<br>.
