Abstract
The following method can be followed for quickly converting existing text (i.e., ASCII) documents to an HTML format. Most (if not all) word and text processors support the generation of a text file without formatting. This method provides the means to make such a document readily available to a WWW browser and the capability to add further hypertext elements to the document in the future as time and HTML expertise allow. However, you will probably ultimately find the need to rewrite the document as more specialized elements are desired.
