Furthermore, if you have a *.txt file that you want to make into
a HTML file, use Save As and select HTML Document(OpenOffice.org
Writer) (.html) as the File type. OOo will add the necessary HTML
commands. This even works in version 1.1.5.
The HTML code might not be as clean as it could be, but OOo does
an adequate job of it.
