I would suggest creating a template html file like the following
template_html.txt
================
<html><body>
_CONTENTS_
</body></html>
Then use <loadfile> to load the contents of the text file into a property and
<copy> and <replace> to create the new html file. Something like...
<loadfile property="contents" srcfile="report.output"/>
<copy file="template_html.txt" tofile="report.outut.html"/>
<replace file="report.output.html" token="_CONTENTS_" value="${contents}"/>
If you have a directory full of these text files, you could make all the values
above properties and loop over the files using ant-contrib's <foreach> task
(google "ant-contrib").
