We did this by figuring out what html should surround each field, then by creating new fields that would have that html text in every record. (In the case of multiple fields, where some could be empty, we made the "html" field a calculation that results in blank if the target field is empty, but results in html if not). Once the database was reconfigured, we just did an export-to-text, and did final editing there.
So, e.g., if you have a field that is a URL, and second field that is its print label (what the user sees), you have to put a field with "<a href˙" before the URL field, a field with """>" after it, and a field with "</a> after the print label.
