Is it just text you want to display? How about something like

<html><head><title>My Converted Text</title></head><body>

in front of your text and

</body></html>

after?

If you want to control how it looks, you can put a <pre> right after you start the body and a </pre> after your text and before you close the body.

You can put <html>..<pre> in file1, </pre></body></html> in file2 then

cat file1 focus file2 >mypage.html

.

or

echo "<html>...<pre" >mypage.html
cat focus >>mypage.html
echo "</pre>..</html>" >>mypage.html
