in iOS (iPad) in the files app, I want to view a HTML file, I don’t want to open it and see the code, I want to see it as the end user: When i click on the html file, it shows a preview (an empty page) since this step is not calling any links (js, css, etc) I tried to tap and hold to see if I can open it with safari but I can not chose safari. I tried to open it in dropbox also. Again it shows a empty page. goodreader app: it opens the file but freezes and the app stops responding after. I also didn’t find a way from safari to locate a specific file and open it.
But I know that iOS is able to easily display HTML files, because when I use the Pyto3 App on iPad (Python IDE for iPad and iPhone) and create a plot with plotly and then execute fig.show() then safari opens automatically and shows it exactly as it would in OS/Windows in a browser.
I really can not believe that there is no way to tell iOS to open a HTML file with safari.
Is there a way directly with safari? If not, is there another way?
Edge Browser App worked.
I some how assumed that the Edge Browser App will not do more than the Chrome Browser App (since Edge is based on Chromium). But i was wrong. From all i tried (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Goodreader and many more), Edge was the only thing that worked.
Go to file, chose open with different App, chose more, chose Edge, wait for quiet a bit, and it shows.
Update: sometimes "PDF Expert" also worked.
