How to edit HTML source in DevTools - html

I go to the sources tab and try to edit HTML file - I can't
whereas I can edit js/css files - curious, how can I edit the HTML? if I can only edit it via the Elements tab, then what can I do so those changes reflect in the HTML file found in sources? reason I ask is because I want to save the html file with all the different changes I've made using Devtools

It's weird, but I do it by changing whatever I want in the elements-tab, then right click on the <html> tag and press Copy as HTML, then make a new .txt file, paste it in there, and rename it to a .html file!

CSS not load new file, only the previous file is loaded

I have project. I used HTML and external CSS. But when I create CSS file and save it, it works. But when i add more data in the CSS file, It only load the previous CSS. The new CSS file i added recently it's not working.
So i have to always create new separate CSS file on every page before I save it. I don't know how to make it works using only single CSS file for my project on my base UI.
and if i copy that style to the body of HTML(inline CSS) it's totally working. But when i added that file into style.CSS it's not working unless i create new file CSS.
Do you know how to solve this?

Inserting index.html file into Github Repository

I've created a very simple website in a Codecademy exercise that I'd like to upload to the Internet using Github Pages. Because you are unable to export your index.html and main.css files from Codecademy, I copy and pasted them into a word document, with the intent to get them in their proper file formats. However, I have been unable to find a source to convert these plain text files to .html and .css formats. Also, I've created an account on Github and a new repository, but the tutorial doesn't cover how to insert these two files into this repository.
How do I convert code from text in a document to .html and .css file format, and then insert these files into a Github repository? Thanks!
You don't need any special tools to convert plain text files to html or css.
You simply do it yourself as well.
Follow the steps to change .txt files to .html or .css:
Right-click on your index.txt or main.txt
Click on Rename from the list of options shown
Then it will take you to editing the file name
Navigate the cursor and delete txt
Type html in txt's place
Press Enter
Then you might receive a prompt asking if you are sure. Click on Yes/use .html whichever is appropriate for your prompt.
Voila! you have your file extension changed
Follow a similar approach to change the files to css as well

Hosting Webpages on Github:
Github pages website gives you a step by step guide with visual illustrations on how to do it.
If you are looking for a more comprehensive guide, then please refer to this page.
Seems nonsense, but after struggling a lot with Github Pages I have tested (and worked):
duplicate your first html file and rename it as index.html
drag and drop it into the /docs folder
drag and drop the remaining html files to the /docs folder (including the one you
have duplicated, of course with it´s original name)
commit changes
Goto Settings / Github pages and
Go down till “Github Pages”
Clic on the down arrow in [None] and select “main”
Clic on the down arrow in [/root] and select “/docs”
Clic on [Save]
After a few minutes you will see in [Settings] / “Github Pages”

Iframe contents not visible in a chm file

I am compiling one chm file with set of html files. In one html file i am using iframe tag and viewing text file throught 'src' attribute. I am able to see the contents of text file inside iframe when opening that HTML file in a browser. But when viewing that file in a chm file i don't see text file content. It is showing 'This page can’t be displayed' error in iframe.
This is the tag i'm using:
<iframe src="./mytextfile.txt" style="width: 100%; height: 300px;border:none"></iframe>
Is there anything to add to view that file. Please help me.
As you can see - your problem is reproducible (here on a German Windows10 machine).
You must ensure that the text file is either in the same directory as the project (.hhp) file or in a subdirectory of that directory.
You also have to add the *.txt file extension or filename to the [FILES] list in the .hhp file, as this ensures that the text file will be compiled into the .chm file. Best way is to do this by a text editor like shown below:
Save the *.hhp file and compile all content to your *.chm file.
Done!
BTW - here are some hints to another problem may be targeted:
Microsoft introduced some security restrictions many years ago that disable functionality in HTML Help files that are accessed over a network, so what you're seeing is almost certainly by design. There are two possible solutions: move the help file to your local drive, or implement some changes in the Windows registry so that you can view the contents of remote help files.
Microsoft's summary of the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
You may try following workaround that lets you explicitly 'unblock' a CHM help file coming from a network drive or internet download. To do this:
Open Windows Explorer
Find your CHM file
Right click and select Propertie
Click the Unblock button on the General tab
For information on how to make the registry changes, see this page:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/chm_mspatch/896358.htm
Or more straightforwardly, use the free HHReg utility available from the page below to make the required changes.

How to write html file with a text editor

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.

What is the .hinc Extension on a file?

I'm working with some pre-existing web files for a website, and I see there are files with .hinc ending. The code inside them is HTML, but Sublime Text 2 doesn't seem to recognize it, and doesn't color anything. Also, the code still runs on the website.
.hinc is an included HTML source file in c++. See this link http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3325.html#style.hinc
