My First Open-Source Project: TILerator

TILerator is a command-line tool that will be able to convert .txt files into .html files. This tool uses JavaScript and Node.js to process files that are located at the file path given. The file path can either point to a singular file, or it can be a directory path that contains multiple .txt files. I will provide a brief description about the tool's features and how to use it, but more information about this tool can be found here: TILerator.
