automatic html text converter?

[signfrog]

i write a blog, and it is getting genuinely infuriating to add code to every line. is there a program that can do this for me?

i use subheaders and all that jazz in my posts too, so preferably smth that i could change the perameters of in the settings, but honestly anything is better than what im doing right now.

thank you

Not sure if this will help at all but I did make a text to HTML convertor but it isn't good  and I'm planning on implementing more features (images, links).
Example of the pre converted text
text to html convertor
You can add another case to the switch statement such as H2 or H3 and copy code from the other cases.


EDIT here's function that loads a blog page template and inserts the converted text.

Spoiler

Code

function LoadBlogContent(path) {
    fetch(path)
        .then(r=>r.text())
        .then(text => {
        data = convert(text);
    });
    var xhr= new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('GET', 'BlogContent.html', true);
    xhr.onreadystatechange= function() {
        if (this.readyState!==4) return;
        if (this.status!==200) return; // or whatever error handling you want
            document.body.innerHTML = this.responseText;
            document.getElementById("PostTitle").innerHTML = data["title"];
            document.getElementById("PostContent").innerHTML = data["innerHTML"];
    };
    xhr.send();
}

Here's how I did it on my site. You can use <div> and some css to just put all the text inside of a box and that can have any formatting you want including none. Bellow is the pastebin which will let you look at the source code to do it, but you can also just go to one of my pages and look at source.

Here is the page.

I forget who taught me how to do this. I think that maybe I had read a post from Paprika explaining how to do it, but it might have been the other cool person with a Neptune profile pic.

One very overlooked option is that you can just write your blog pages in Microsoft Word (Possibly LibreOffice too?) and save them as HTML pages ^^ It lets you do all the formatting, image and style options (including links) as a word document, and you don't have to do any code work.

If you wanna add in custom styles you can setup a CSS file that you just paste into the exported html before you publish it.

It's a feature that's been in Word for decades, so even if you don't have access to modern Word, you can grab an older copy from Archive.org and it'll work just fine

That's actually pretty cool. I might remember that for later.

Would like to add to all of this, ellipsus, a writing program that I use, allows you to copy everything in HTML. It's also a good writing program overall, so I'd recommend it in general, but it has also been a lot of help for writing my site writing comprated to before.
