I put a bit of toy code together to try and convert a teletext page
into HTML. Needs to be in a table to get the character cells to
line up. Unfortunatelt, font doesn't span across a table, so it
generates code like:
 
<td><font face="Courier">&nbsp;
<td><font face="Courier" color="#ff0000">R
<td><font face="Courier" color="#ff0000">E
<td><font face="Courier" color="#ff0000">D
<td><font face="Courier" color="#ff0000">&nbsp;
<td bgcolor="#ff0000"><font face="Courier">&nbsp;
<td bgcolor="#ff0000"><font face="Courier" color="ffffff">B
<td bgcolor="#ff0000"><font face="Courier" color="ffffff">A
<td bgcolor="#ff0000"><font face="Courier" color="ffffff">C
<td bgcolor="#ff0000"><font face="Courier" color="ffffff">K
 
etc...
