Hi Glyn,

I have no idea if a suitable tool already exist.  However, dare I say a
simple bash script would do the job nicely.  May be store the text for
each question in a separate files, first line the title, the rest, the
body of the text.  The script could just generate the web page.  I've
done similar things before; have header and footer html files, generate
a body file by looping over all the text files then cat them all
together. Its very tempting to have a go now....

Paul
