  Yes. Here's a Python script that reads a text and prints HTML.

import html
code = html.escape( input( "Text? " ))
print( f"""
<!DOCTYPE html><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"
xml:lang="en">
<head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><title>Web Page</title></head><body>
<pre>{code!s}</pre></body></html>
""" )
