Hi there,
I have a quick question. In my html document, I want to make a new
paragraph whenever I have a blank line in the html source. Using <p>
and </pevery time is kind of cumbersome (I want to do it the LaTeX
way). Is it possible at all?
Thanks for your time,

<pis the semantically correct way to mark up a paragraph. You
shouldn't want to change that.
You can style it however you like with CSS.
p { margin-bottom: 4em; }
Play with the numbers.
Sorry, what is the LaTeX way?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. To be HTML, it must have the
markups (e.g., <p>).
In most cases, the end-tag </pis optional. I use the end-tag only
when I have declared a style for <p(e.g., via a class attribute) that
I don't want to continue into content where I don't want to declare a
new paragraph.

You can try making your content as a text file, with <preand </pre>
deliminating it, and hope for the best. I'm not sure what HTML markup
you'll be able to use inside the <preelement, but I'll leave that
discovery to you.
I must say, though, that it's a weird request. Marking up paragraphs as
paragraphs in documents is part of Web publishing. HTML is the means to
do that. Throwing out a three-byte tag because it's too long is jsut
bizarre to me. But then, I am not a follower of the LaTeX Way.

The LaTeX way is for blank lines in source to denote paragraph breaks.
If it looks like a paragraph in source, it's a paragraph in the output.

You might have a look at Markdown:
<http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Markdown>
<http://daringfireball. net/projects/markdown/syntax>
Browsers don't understand Markdown, but many CMS systems and editors do,
and can automagically translate it into HTML.

Just regex pairs of adjacent linebreaks into <p>.
s/\n(\s*\n\s*)+/\n<p>/
You can ignore the </pin HTML (but don't use XHTML).
Remember that in HTML a <pmarks the _start_ of a paragraph, not a
"paragraph break". The difference is subtle, but significant. I don't
know how TeX regards this.
Don't confuse this with <br>. That's a linebreak, which is an inline
thing not paras, and it also is a "break" marker, not a "start"
marker.
If you don't like the rendered whitespace you get, fix that with CSS,
not by changing the underlying HTML
If you really care, run the converted HTML through Tidy afterwards.

That will not work. Text utilities read a line at a time, and a
line cannot contain a newline.
With awk:
awk '
/./ && empty { empty = 0; printf "<p>" }
!/./ { empty = 1 }
{print}
'

I hate to break it to you, but Awk is not the only text utility in
the world. It may still have that old one-line-at-a-time limit, but
the rest of the world moved past that years ago.
If you use something reasonably modern - Perl, Ruby, Python, Java,
any of a variety of regex-aware editors, etc. - the above will work
just fine.

Those are overkill for a simple task that can be done easily in sed
or awk.

I am trying to read a small text file using the readline statement. I
can only read the first 2 records from the file. It stops at the blank
