Free, quick and easy-to-use apps and sites to convert a document into an HTML file to publish online
To publish an article or document as a web page it may be essential to convert it to HTML format, i.e. the format with which web pages are generated. By carrying out this conversion we will obtain the code to insert into any management system, maintaining the characteristics and formatting of the text and adapting them to the needs of the site without having to randomly copy and paste.
Basically, instead of writing a web page, you convert the document written with Word or similar programs into an HTML file, which you can copy or upload to a web host to publish online so that it can be read on the internet.
