You can use and create a wide variety of templates and after you follow these basic steps, you'll be able to quickly take some text files and make them into decent looking web pages (html), including basic SEO.
1 Download this freeware program Easy Text to HTML Converter:

2 After you install it, open the program folder and then in the templates folder open default.html in a text editor.
3 Paste in the html code (in blue below) and save. The converted html files will use this template and I've set it up for us to exploit using the Tuelz.
4 The hardest part of this whole thread: Open the folder than has all your txt files and rename each one using this exact structure:

This is used for your most essential and basic SEO and this is the format that works with Easy Text to HTML Converter as it will use the file names to add to pages titles and header tags, etc.
