    What are the steps in opening my HTML file in Notepad ++ to my browser?

    Community Answer
    The simplest way to open an HTML file in your browser is to open your browser, then drag the HTML file from its location directly into your browser window. This will open the file in your browser and display its contents as a rendered HTML page. You can also open the file from your browser's menu. To open the file with your browser menu, open your browser and expand the "File" dropdown in the menu and select "Open File" from the dropdown list. In the window that opens, navigate to the file location, click the file, then click the "Open" button in the bottom-right corner of the window. These steps may differ on your specific system, but will be similar.

    I remember note++ being able to tell me what's wrong with my code without making a file or anything, like everything was done inside the application, is that feature gone? Or do I remember wrongly?

    I assume you are referring to syntax highlighting. Opening a file with a recognized extension, like .html, will automatically select that language. Alternatively, you can select it from the Language menu.

    It has a spellcheck plugin, DSpellCheck, but it is not enabled by default. To enable it and use it, open the Plugins menu, select Plugins Admin, check the box next to DSpellCheck, and click Install. Notepad++ will restart. Next, open the Plugins menu again, go to DSpellCheck > Settings, and click Download. Check the box next to your language, and click Install Selected.

    Can I download it from my Android phone?
    Community Answer
    You can download the installer on your phone and transfer it, for example, to a computer without an Internet connection, if needed. But you can't actually install it on your phone, as it's a Windows program. If you need a text editor, there's many apps out there for Android, like Turbo Editor.
  • Question
    How do I make the batch program to display and stay instead of it to just show and disappear?
    Community Answer
    You seem to be making a batch program, which terminates (closes) after all instructions are finished. To pause your program, you can use 'timeout' and 'pause', like this: - 'timeout /t 3' to pause your program for 3 seconds. You can change the number, and add ' > nul' at the end of that to hide the message. After that, if there's no more code, the program will close. - 'pause' to pause the program until any key is pressed. As with the previous, here, ' > nul' at the end will hide the 'Press any key to continue . . .' message shown. After that, if there's no more code, the program will close.

    Notepad++ is not an IDE. It cannot run code. You will need to open your file in an IDE or feed it to an interpreter / compiler.
