HTML to link answer

How do you turn an HTML file into a link?

To turn an HTML file into a link, publish one complete HTML document to a web-accessible host and copy the returned URL. If you mean making text clickable inside HTML, use an `<a href="...">` tag. If you mean turning a complete `.html` file into a browser URL, FolioDrop is built for that single-file workflow.
