When developing a Website it is occasionally necessary to handle text that is received without formatting, and present it in a pleasing manner. to achieve this the text needs to be converted to HTML.

This renderer doesn't do all that much. Indeed, it deliberately avoids doing all the complexity that is possible; instead it seeks to just provide the minimum that could possibly be useful to someone who is doing very simple text pages.

Here's an example of how it would be used.
<lang tcl>set sample "
This is an example of how a pseudo-markdown-ish formatting scheme could
work. It's really much simpler than markdown, but does support a few things.
 
# Block paragraph types
 
* This is a bulleted list
 
* And this is the second item in it
 
1. Here's a numbered list
 
2. Second item
 
3. Third item
 
# Inline formatting types
 
The formatter can render text with _italics_, *bold* and in a `typewriter`
font. It also does the right thing with <angle brackets> and &amp;ersands,
but relies on the encoding of the characters to be conveyed separately."
