Do Yelp support viewing HTML files?

[sarru1291 (Sarvottam Kumar)]

Hey, this question has been asked before here. But I didn’t find any answer to that.

So, I want to ask again how can I use Yelp to view HTML files?

Launching yelp with a file URL referring to an HTML file results in this message “The URL can’t be shown.”

From man yelp

Yelp can display some HTML and XML files when passed on the command-line,
but it’s primarily called from applications.

So there is a good chance your HTML file is not supported.

Is it possible to use Yelp to display existing HTML files? From what I’ve seen, it should be possible.

However, launching yelp with a file URL referring to an HTML file results in Yelp displaying a message in its main window, “The URL can’t be shown.”
