HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a web page-based document file extension that utilizes basic tags and elements to define the structure of text, images and other elements that are displayed on a web page. The HTML file extension is a generic format used mainly to create documents using text content and web-friendly graphics. .HTML files contain content that is mapped out in HTML elements such as links, tables, headings, paragraphs, images and lists among others. In order for an HTML document processed correctly by web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, it needs to follow a few syntax rules.
In-Depth Look at HTML Files
The HTML format consists of pairs of tags with contents placed in between them. A full list of valid tags can be found in the specification created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). While most developers use an HTML editor with a graphical user interface to quickly and easily create HTML documents, some choose to use simple text editors or other programs to construct documents. Additionally, similar file formats, such as .HTM, .DHTML, and .XHTML, are also based on HTML but have different syntax rules.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .HTML) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .HTML extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .HTML file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .HTML extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .HTML extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .HTML file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .HTML file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .HTML file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .HTML file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .HTML file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
