This is a maximally confusing question, since of course HTML documents are 
ASCII documents.

If you mean "how can I translate whatever format cues exist in the originals 
to HTML tags?" then one suggestion -- if you're a Windows type -- is to import 
your documents into Word for Windows 6.0x and convert them using Microsoft 
Internet Assistant. IA is free, from 
ftp.microsoft.com/deskapps/word/winword-public/ia.

It'll do its best to translate formatting, including some tables & forms. Just 
don't try installing radio button!

There are similar translators for Word Perfect et al.

Hope that's a help,
