To convert TXT to HTML, upload the TXT file, start the conversion and download the result. LibreOffice opens the TXT and saves it as HTML; styles and tables carry over where HTML supports them.
Plain character data without page layout, styles, images, or a universal encoding marker is interpreted first, then its pages or chapters rebuilt using whatever structures HTML makes available. Layout and semantics both require mapping - This is not a renamed package. TXT input is decoded with an explicit character encoding and line-ending policy; paragraphs, tabs, control characters, and reading order are all that remain. HTML output favors semantic text and linked assets that a browser can lay out again; page breaks and print geometry are secondary to document structure.
Read structure - Plain character data without page layout, styles, images, or a universal encoding marker. Rebuilt structure - Text markup with linked or embedded styling, media, and document structure.

If you want the reasoning behind this TXT to HTML route, our overview of common file formats explains why a format is a set of tradeoffs rather than a label.
Used for structured content meant for rendering or data interchange.
Designed for structured content meant for rendering or data interchange.
Open as the intended encoding and inspect line endings, accented characters, tabs, and paragraph breaks.
Open the result offline and verify headings, links, tables, images, and character encoding.
Formatting and embedded objects disappear, while the wrong character encoding can corrupt punctuation or non-Latin text.
A standalone HTML file may depend on external assets, and scripts or print pagination do not translate cleanly to every format.
The writer builds text markup with linked or embedded styling, media, and document structure and labels the result as text/html. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.
Choose HTML when its editing, reflow, or reader support is more valuable than exact TXT structure, and test the most complex page or chapter before committing.
