Hi evolters, I am trying to parse a plain text document to give a simple
html file. (on a windows machine)

the file has headings in BLOCK CAPITALS with 2 line breaks between
paragraphs.

So far I have this...
<?
	$fileContents =
fread(fopen($fileName,'rb'),filesize($fileName));
	$fileContents = htmlentities($fileContents); // convert & to
&amp; etc.
	$fileContents = ereg_replace("^","<p>","$fileContents"); //start
with a <p>
	$fileContents = ereg_replace("$","</p>","$fileContents"); //end
with a </p>
	$fileContents =
ereg_replace("(\r\n){2}","</p>\r\n<p>","$fileContents"); // double line
break to </p><p>
?>

The problem I have is how to convert the headings to have <h3></h3>
round them...

Cheers for your help :Donald
