Link to a local html file

Link to a local html file

[Nicolas Girard]

Hi,

how to create a link to a local html file, say, /path/to/file.html, so
that clicking on it opens the page in a browser ?

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas

If you serve that file through a webserver (here apache2), you could do
something like this:

   [[http://localhost/~user/path/to/file.html][file.html]]


I serve several directories in my home directory to either localhost
only, or to the intranet here. You simply can add entries to your
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf (on GNU/Linux) like this:


    Alias /devel "/home/sebastian/develop/htdocs"
    <Directory "/home/sebastian/develop/htdocs">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from 192.168.178.0/255.255.255.0
        Allow from 127.0.0.1
    </Directory>


...and adjust the network as needed.

One way to define a link to a file.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[[~/agenda.html][Agenda]]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Following settings from .emacs open the link in a new Firefox tab.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 '(browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-firefox))
 '(browse-url-firefox-new-window-is-tab t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

C-c C-o opens the link.

1. C-u C-c C-l to insert a link to a local file
2. C-u C-u to open the link in an external browser

Also check M-x customize-variable RET org-file-apps RET

HTH,

Oops: 

2. C-u C-u C-c C-o to open the link in an external browser

... which is only required for .php files, for example.  
.html links should work with C-c C-o, as other replies said.
