how to save as html

Barbi Bölcsová

hi. iwant to ask , how could i save my work in html form?

I don’t really understand the question.
Is it about having the html extension displayed when using the save dialog
then you might uncheck Settings->Preferences->Default Directory->use new style save dialog if it isn’t, then maybe you can clarify what you exactly want to do.

Cheers

You might want to look at Plugins -> NppExport -> Export to HTML

Peace be with you and this community!

There are big diferences between the two HTML options in Notepad++.

When Save As, then type HTML, Notepad++ leaves the file as plain text; it only adds the .html extension. The browser treats it as such and doesn’t add anything (e.g. new lines, paragraphs):
When Export to HTML (in Plugins), Notepad++ adds some HTML features to the plain text file. The page will show end of lines, paragraphs:

You can use whichever style you prefer; the lone restriction is that the same character must be used to open and close an emphasis span.

Notepad++, however, is not an HTML editor of choice. It only creates primitive HTML files. You need a lot of manual work to format your Web page. Personally, I use a dedicated HTML editor released in the 1990s: Arachnophilia. It has worked on Windows 95, and all the way to 64-bity Wimndows 10. It adds a lot of tags for me, plus the code is very clean.
