I use rmarkdown to create html pages. I would like to know how to publish, simply and efficiently, html pages.
Solutions that I know exist:
Web hosting: you can purchase a specific domain and host you your files. I have built some wordpress sites with this, but I don't know basics about web security, it is necessary to have a ftp transfer software.
With google drive, you can host html pages. It is quite simple, you can find the id the the shared document, and enter: googledrive.com/host/DocumentID. But you can not customise the domain name, and this url is redirected to a very complicated name.
It seems that github offers a lot of possilities. I think that some of you have already had the same problem and found the solution. So could you please share ? Thank you

I know this is the most basic of questions. I made my own website in HTML documents. I bought a domain name from google. How can I publish this, how can I host it? I don't want to use any website creator, I want to publish my own files that I worked on.
You can use Github to host your website on your own domain.
You have to add the whole files needed for the website. Then in the settings of your repo use the Github pages feature and enable it. Change the source of Github pages to host in your own domain. Then you have to add some A and CNAME records of your domain to point to github servers.
Here are the full steps for the process - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/publish-websites-on-github-pages-with-a-custom-domain/
Hi Stack Overflow community,
I'm a bit of a noob here (please be gentle) and wanted to ask how to upload HTML/CSS + Packages in bulk to my site.
I'm familiar with the code injection/CSS editor within Squarespace, but something doesn't seem to be working.
To summarize, I received a bunch of files and was requested to upload them to the website I manage. These files contain:
HTML (by page)
CSS (by page)
image files
index.html
Scripts file (which include .js & .php
sitemap.xml
That being said, I know there is a lot of referencing between these files and wanted to know the best route in incorporating these into my site?
Thanks so much!
A quick way to upload multiple files is to use the (S)FTP protocol. You can use an FTP client such as FileZilla to upload files in bulk to your server.
However, I'm not quite sure if that's possible in your use case. Are you using Squarespace for your project? If so, it looks like you can use either Git or SFTP for file uploads. You'll need to have developer mode enabled for that, though.
I found this article that goes into uploading multiple files to Squarespace via their own upload system, does that help?
My knowledge about Web technologies is very low and I just wanted to know if the following scenario would be possible with HTML5 and Javascript:
If I host an HTML file in Dropbox and send this link to seomeone, would it be possible that this HTML file creates a new file in my Dropbox? For exampe the HTML file is a form that one can fill out, can the HTML file create a text (.txt) file with the form content?
As far as I understand, the HTML file has to be hosted by a webserver and has to allow Javascript or PHP to achieve this. But maybe there is a way to just use an HTML file, a dropbox and a browser?
Any hints what topics I should study to achieve this goal?
On what I've understood from Dropbox, it does not directly show you the file contents in any manner. You can store files there, but the only thing you can see when opening a link that directs to the file, is the page which allows you to download the file to your own PC and save it.
This would seem like an impossible thing to achieve, in any cloud service like Dropbox it would seem. I would recommend you to just get the web hosting service, they are usually not that highly priced after all.
You could do this, but you shouldn't. To make this work, you'd have to use the Dropbox API to upload files, and you'd have to embed in your web page an access token for your account. That means anyone who looked at the source of your web page could get access to make changes in your account (e.g. delete all your files). So there's no safe way to do this without a server-side component (like PHP).
As we all know, the infopath forms service residing on a sharepoint server generates a web site each time we publish an inforpath form template to the sharepoint server.
Here is the question: how does sharepoint do that. Is there any way for us to do that programmatically via some kind of api provided by MS?
In fact, what I need to do is getting all the html, js, css etc. files and applying some kind of operations like deleting some divs or insert some html code into the particular web page. I have come up with two ways to do this.
Generating the web page via sharepoint api and apply those operations at the same time
Extracting the web page files from the IIS server and apply those operations
I am totally new to this kind of work. All in my mind is that each time we right click on a web page in the browser and choose to save the web page, the browser gets some of the files we need to render the web page and makes it possible for us to browse the web page offline.
httrack
WinWSD
and tools like that seems to work fine with extracting html files from online web pages but not that well with js, css files.
Now I am trying to dig into the chromium project for some kind of inspiration, although whether it helps or not is unpredictable.
Any kind of advice will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Jordan
Infopath xsn files are just zip files with a different extension. you can rename the extension to .zip and extract out the files. you will find a number of files that make up the form. the two main ones are the .xml and .xsl files. the .xsl will have the html to generate when applied to the xml.
I have recently learned how to write HTML pages on a standalone computer, with all the references given to the directories in the local drives.
How, then, can I do the following:
Create a website, using HTML. I know I'll be able to create its look, but I don't know what should be given as the reference address (URL) if there is a hyper link (like: href). So how do I get an address that can be used on the Internet?
How do I upload this file to the Internet, do I have to upload it onto a server? If yes, which?
If there are multiple pages then how do I create references between?
Most importantly if I have to create this site should I use HTML, or something else?
When developing a website you will want to observe the following:
You need to regsiter a domain name that you want people to use to access your site. You can do this using any number of online registrars
You will have to get a web host...again there are many. They will give you instructions to upload using FTP or otherwise
The references between pages on your website will have to use relative addresses. That is /page2.html rather than http://www.myserver.com/page2.html.
You have to use HTML to create the front end. Plus CSS and maybe JavaScript. If you need dynamic content like accessing a database etc then you have to learn server side languages like PHP, ASP.NET or JSP.
To reference pages and resources (images, css, et.c.) you can use either relative paths, virtual paths or absolute paths.
A relative path shows the relation between the items, for example:
An image in the same folder: art.gif
An image in a subfolder: images/art.gif
An image in a parent folder: ../art.gif
An image in a parallel subfolder: ../images/art.gif
A virtual path starts with "/", so it's relative to the root folder of the site:
An image in the root folder: /art.gif
An image in a subfolder: /images/art.gif
An absolute path specifies the complete URL to the resource:
An image in a subfolder: http://www.mysite.com/images/art.gif
To put the pages on the net, you need some kind of hosting. You can start with searching the web for "free hosting" and you will find plenty of sites where you can try this out.
Most free hosting offer a subdomain or subfolder for your site, like mypage.thewebhost.com or www.thewebhost.com/mypage. If you want your own domain like www.mypage.com you need to register it for a fee. Many hosts offer a domain name "for free" when you buy web space, but you will of course end up paying for it in the end as it's included in the fee for the space.
Regardless of how you create the page, it will use HTML in the end. That's what the web is made of. If you use a server side language like ASP.NET or PHP, they still output HTML pages for the browser.
This is a great site if you're just getting started with HTML: http://www.w3schools.com/
I think you are asking about how to publish your site on the web and then access it.
Buy a domain, go to any domain hosting site like godaddy.com etc.
After buying domain the domain hosting company will send you the details of your account/pwd
With you account pwd you can access their ftp server.
Put your current html pages on their ftp server (put them in the public folder)
Access your html pages on the web now.
Also note it will take atleast a few minutes before your domain info gets published on the dns servers, i.e to say it will take a while before you can access your website (usually a few minutes)
Try giving relative urls in the href link. For e.g. if you want to link index.html to page1.html in the same folder you don't need to give complete path of the page1.html for the link. You can simply write Page 1
You can learn more about relative urls from here
You can get a free web hosting account from sites like http://110mb.com , they also provide a free sub-domain and a ftp account.
You need HTML to create webpages. There's no other option.
Hope this helps.
Google is your friend. There's tons of help for web site development. I just recently switiched from HTML to PHP, but I recommend you use HTML until you are fully comfortable with it.
