Convert Emacs Region to HTML (See related posts)

Sometimes while I'm editing, I want to convert a region to HTML. I use Perl's HTML::FromText. First I create this script and call it tohtml.

#!/usr/bin/perl

 use HTML::FromText;
 use strict;

 my $text = join '',<>;
 my $html = text2html($text, urls => 1, email => 1, bold=>1, paras => 1, allcaps => 1, tables => 1, bullets => 1, underline=>1);

print $html;


Then from within Emacs, I select the region and do

C-x ESC-1 ESC-| tohtml RET
