Preview HTML

[tlianza]

I've played with some extensions but they don't seem to be working on code-server... all I'd like to do is preview HTML. I don't have a node-app and don't need to run a special server... literally just browse an html file who's source I'm editing. Any ideas?

This is a great question...I just spent some time googling and haven't seen anything that doesn't require a special server.

One idea that comes to mind:

1. Create a Markdown .md file
2. Add an HTML codeblock with html
3. Open with Markdown Preview

Another possible way is to browse static files using the /static endpoint.
