Italics question

[treonb.livejournal.com]

I usually post my fic as plaintext and so either add the formatting later or add it in the original file already set up as HTML code.

For longer fic, I prefer to have the formatting in place ahead of time.  What's the best way to deal with this?

Ah! You want a Word to HTML converter! There are a number of on-line tools:

I don't endorse or recommend because I haven't used it, but it's what came up in a Google search for Convert Formatted Text to HTML.

You'd think, with all the bells and whistles in Word, they'd have a conversion tool, too!

Ooh! This works perfectly, thank you so much!

Word does have a conversion tool, but it keeps all the bells and whistles too, like font sizes etc.

Ah! S, good to know. I'm not surprised that the Word tool clutters everything up.
