To read a text file use Get-Content file.txt. To massage the text using regex I would use the -replace operator. Then just redirect the output to an html file e.g.:

$header = "<html><head>...</head><body>"
$body = Get-Content file.txt | Foreach {$_ -replace '^(.*)$','<p>$1</p>'}
$footer = "</body></html>"
$header + $body + $footer > file.html
