Hi,

I have seen things where HTML can be compiled into an EXE. Anyone know of an app to do this? For free?

Chris
 
Yes, notepad. put .exe after the file name.





I have no idea whether that'll work, or even that what you said is possible.
 
Compiled html is usually used for help files (.CHM)
You can get the comiler from Microsoft or other mirror site.
Just google "compiled html"
 
Are you talking an .EXE that will display embedded HTML independant of any external browser? (Kind of like a self extracting zip file as .EXE )

You can save a web page as an archive (binary), but that still requires an external broswer that can comsume, parse and display the page.

It's sort of like that. The HTML is compressed into an EXE with a stripped down browser.

In some instances it can. e.g. Raniming a .zip archive to a .pk4 archive allows it to be used in Doom 3 and Crysis. Renaming a .txt file to a .html or .htm file, provided the txt file had the right formatting, can turn it into a webpage.

And I was joking anyway.
