+The text2html function marks up plain text as HTML.  By
+default it converts HTML metacharacters into the
+corresponding entities.  More sophisticated transformations,
+such as splitting the text into paragraphs or marking up
+bulleted lists, can be carried out by setting the
+appropriate options.
