import re

# Step 1 (plain text searches)

subject = re.sub("&", "&", subject)

subject = re.sub("

subject = re.sub(">", ">", subject)

# Step 2

subject = re.sub("\r\n?|\n", "

subject = re.sub(r"
\s*
", "

", subject)

# Step 4

subject = "

" + subject + "

"

return subject

3. Test

In [2]: plainTextToHtml("Test.")

Out[2]: '

Test.

'

In [3]: plainTextToHtml("Test.\n")

Out[3]: '

Test.

'

In [4]: plainTextToHtml("Test.\n\n")

Out[4]: '

Test.

In [5]: plainTextToHtml("Test1.\nTest2.")

Out[5]: '

Test1.
Test2.

'

In [6]: plainTextToHtml("Test1.\n\nTest2.")

Out[6]: '

Test1.

Test2.

'

In [7]: plainTextToHtml("< AT&T >")

Out[7]: '

< AT&T >
