I am trying to write my first html document.
Here is the link to the reference.
I am using TextEdit on Max OSX 10.6 and after I save it (as an html file) it is opened by the browser by double clicking on it. However the source script text is shown instead of the html structure.
What I am getting wrong?
You need to convert it to a plaintext document
Click Format and then 'Make Plain Text', then make sure to save as .html
Does the icon of the file has an "e". Usually these kind of files should have an icon as an e. Also make sure you are saving it as .html file. I think the actual extension of the file is hidden.

When I type my code in VSCode, it ends up looking like below in Google Chrome. Why would it be doing that?
I tried fixing my code and I expected it to come out looking cleaner in the browser. It actually just brought over all of the code.
When loading local files, browsers use the file extension to determine how to process the file.
Since your file doesn't have one, it treats it as plain text.
Rename it so it ends in .html.
From the URL, it is clear that you've not saved your file with .html extension. That is why it is showing up as text instead of a web page.
Save the file with name Mywebsite.html and try again. Hope this helps!
I save a basic "Hello World" html file on TextEdit on my mac, but it won't open as a webpage and I just see code when I open the file.
Go to your text edit and under prefrences
Make sure this is checked
Make sure plain text is selected
Create a new file and named the file with format also
For example: index.html <--- where html is the format
Then you are good to go!
so i am pretty new to this and i was wondering if the index.html file for my site is supposed to be a text file (also, i'm on Windows 10). When i create the index.html file in file explorer the file that makes the most sense to me is a text file. (The files are: bitmap image, contact, rich text document, text document, and compressed zipped folder), So i would assume i'm supposed to pick text document. The folder ends up looking like index.html.txt, not sure if this is how i'm supposed to do it.
Start notepad, or an editor of your choice.
Type in the content you want for your file.
Save-As “Index.html” in the location you desire.
Well, the file extension is in the name itself ".html" just the same as a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file would be saved as a ".css" file and a Javascript file as ".js"
Everything after the "." is the type of file.
Yep, everyone above answered correctly. You want to save the file in a plain-text format with a .html at the end. Then you can open it in a browser like Internet Explorer and it will interperate the file as an HTML page.
You can use a program like CoffeeCup to easily edit HTML files and it will save them as plain-text.
You can't edit HTML files in rich-text editors like Word.
Chrome has an extension called SingleFile. It basically saves a web page in a one file *.htm page that is a clone of the original website. I have seen something like this done with Mozilla MAFF format. The MAFF format saves the file in *.maf, and is you want to see contents (html, css, images etc.) you can change the format to *.zip. Then you can unzip it. With the SingleFile (Chrome) you can’t unzip the file by changing extension. Does anybody know how this is achieved? Is this a known thing that *.htm can offer? Thanks

I'm assuming that you're really asking just how the image files are stored in .htm since html and css can easily be stored as text in htm.
It uses uuencode/uudecode to embed image files in the .htm file. More on that here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencoding
This is why changing the extension to .zip won't turn the file into a zip package that you can unzip.

I found this article may help: http://www.techgainer.com/enable-single-file-mhtml-support-chrome/
On Chrome address bar, type chrome://flags, then hit enter. Now use Ctrl+F (Command+F on Mac) bring search bar and search for mhtml as I did below. Once you find the option, click on Enable link.
I created a link in a html file to a text file (logcat.txt).
if i open this logcat.txt file via html link, need to open the file and pointed to specific line having keyword("Mylog").
How can i Do it?
You cannot link directly to a location inside a plain text file, even in a simple manner like by line number. There is nothing illogical with the idea; there are ways to link to a location in an HTML file, or in a PDF file, using a URL with a fragment identifier at the end (...#foo or ...#page=42 for example). And it would be possible to define a similar mechanism for plain text resources; but no such mechanism has been defined so far, still less implemented.
You might consider writing server-side code that converts the plain text file to an HTML document (possibly rendered with white-space: pre) so that you can link to specific locations there.
