Sure, it just requires someone to write an doc.txt to xexpr
converter. Currently all txt-files are handled by handle-txt,
which reads from current-input-port and returns an xexpr.

(define (handle-txt)
   (let* ([s           (port->string (current-input-port))]
          [p           (open-input-string s)]
          [first-line  (read-line p)]
          [second-line (read-line p)])
     ; use first or second line as header?
     (let ([header
            (cond
              ; if the first 4 (and likely all) characters
              ; are the same, use the second line in stead
              [(and (string? first-line)
                    (string? second-line)
                    (> (string-length first-line) 4)
                    (every?-ec (: c (substring first-line 0 4))
                               (char=? c (string-ref first-line 0))))
               second-line]
              [(string? first-line)
               first-line]
              [else
               ""])])
       ; remove underscores from header
       (let ([header (string-ec (: c header)
                                (if (not (char=? c #\_)))
                                c)])
         `(div
           (h1 ,header)
           (pre ,s))))))

Is
<http://ja.soegaard.net/planet/html/collects/help/servlets/private/read-lines.ss>
the relevant HelpDesk source file?
