You might look at the droplet version of Sam Choukri's 'Tablemaker',
available at:

http://www.missouri.edu/~wwwtools/tablemaker/tablemaker-application.html

I think this actually does the *reverse* of what you want to do (i.e.,
it converts text *TO* html); it may at least give you an idea of how
to do what you want, though. Just think backwards 8-)
