     You'd have to do it yourself. But that isn't labor if you enjoy it. :)
Besides, with programs like Front Page Express or Claris Home Page Lite where
it colors it for you as you tag it on the screen, it's easy.

     Besides, what you would be looking for is an ASCII to HTML converter, and
this thread has been talked to death here, IMO. Or if you convert it to ANSI
(colored text) you mine as well just use a VGA  to ANSI converter.

     Sorry, never heard of it.
