Is there a way to insert a .txt file into a webpage and have the server/browser interpret it as html instead of just displaying the code?
I've tried using iframe as below, but that just displays the code instead of interpreting the code. I know the obvious way to do this would be to save the file as .htm and insert that file; the trouble is, my server doesn't let me upload .htm files.
<iframe src="url.txt" type="text" width="100%" style="height:1000px"></iframe>
No. In order to be interpreted by browser, it has to be sent with Content-Type: text/html HTTP herader (file extension is irrelevant by itself, but is often used by server to guess Content-Type). So if your server does not allow you to upload HTML files, you cannot do this.

I have an HTML file stored on s3 and I am trying to display it in embed/iframe tag but it's downloading the file instead of displaying it. I have added type=text/html in the embed tag but it's still downloading the file
It seems like when I uploaded the file the default Content-Type saved was binary/octat-stream:
Update it to text/html
Now the file is properly displayed in embed/iframe tag and not getting downloaded
as you know txt files and HTML files are text-based documents and I want to know why we use .HTML extension?
I mean both of them (text and HTML files) are text-based but when I open txt file, my browser can't render it.
help me, please.
The .txt extension indicates a plain text file. HTML is text based, but it isn't plain text, it is formatted with HTML.
Software uses file extensions (or Content-Type headers if we're using HTTP) to determine how to treat a file.
I'm trying to add a custom HTML signature in Outlook 365. Therefore I create a normal signature and go to ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures to edit the signaturename.htm file.
But even if I'm defining the language (charset utf-8) it seems to use a different language.
And I just can't copy and paste my code from my .html file to the .htm file. Is there a big difference between .html and .htm?
If I use my .html file in Thunderbird everything works fine.
There's nothing different between .htm and .html files, but, the ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures file is generated from Outlook, and therefore contains all sorts of Microsoft-specific code.
You should create a new email in outlook, and then under 'include' click 'signature' -> signatures, as per below image.
Then edit your signature there, copying your HTML into the box below.
Maybe its stupid question, but I don't know to find answer anywhere.
When I navigate to my file for example: mysite.com/folder/sometextfile.txt
it automatically opens the file and shows content in browser.
What do I have to do if I don't want to show content in browser, but have options to open file or download it?
I have tried
<form method="post" action="../folder/sometextfile.txt">
<button type="submit">Download!</button>
</form>
and
Textfile
But it still shows the content of file.
I dont want to something special, just the default way which it is done in most cases.
That depends on the server side settings, by default the web server knows some common file extensions like .txt, .html etc. It is called MIME Types. If you remove the txt extension form the server, all the txt files will be downloaded automatically.

Or you can simply zip it and upload :P

I'm guessing it's an Apache (or whatever webserver you're using) configuration problem. It looks like php files are being processed by something other than PHP. Check your MIME type handler for .php files in httpd.conf.
