I'm am writing summary information about input files to an output file (currently a text file). I'd like to allow a user to click on information of interest in the output file and have it hyperlink to the file the information refers to. <br />

I guess I have to change my output file to an HTML file? What is the least painful way to create such an output file? Is there a way to easily write a string of text to the output file and declare it as a hyperlink to a file (or to anything I want)?
