@Alan-Kilborn
you’re correct, i just gave the most polite answer, with the least amount of work, by literarily answering a question written as: “how do you open the file into a browser it is very annoying?”

I think maybe the OP was talking about from-within Notepad++? If so then the Run menu gives you some nice options, and you can create others fairly easily:

One thing to note is that you have to have saved your file to disk first. If you try to do this with your file tab saying “new 1” or “new 3” (or whatever) it doesn’t work (and that is correct behavior).

If Meta Chuh is right, then the OP should not have posted here as it is not a Notepad++ question.
