Usage

You can use this tool to convert text files to HTML with various options.

Basic Usage

To convert a single text file to HTML:

node txtToHtml.js <input-file> [options]

Options

• -o, --output <output-directory>: Specify the output directory for the generated HTML files. If not specified, the default is ./til.

  Example:

node txtToHtml.js ./example.txt -o ./output_folder

• -c, --config: specify the file path to a TOML-based config file

Additional Features

Title Parsing

• If your input file contains a title, it should be the first line followed by two blank lines. The title will be used as the <title> and as an <h1> element in the HTML file.

Default Behavior

• By default, the tool creates an output directory named til (short for "text-to-HTML") in the current directory to store the generated HTML files. Existing content in the til directory is removed before generating new output.

Convert a single text file and specify an output directory
