Open HTM File

The HTM file contains a markup code in the Hypertext Markup Language format and shares many similarities with HTML.

Basically, an HTM file is an HTML-encoded web page that can be displayed in a web browser.

It is used to format the text, tables, images and other content displayed on a web page.

HTM files are saved in a standard text format and are made up of tags used to define the structure of a web page.

HTM files can be opened and edited with a basic text editor, but they are usually opened with source code editors that come with features that make coding easy for developers, for example, highlighting, word suggestions, etc.

The HTM source code is parsed by a web browser and is not normally seen by the user.

If you want to view the HTM of a web page, select "View Source" from the View menu of the web browser.
