htm to html

Hi, im using a trial of web designer premium 365. The output files end up with .htm. Is it possible to change this to .html instead?
I plan to redo a website with html links and want to use the same page names/links as the originals.
eg www.mysite/gallery.htm to www.mysite/gallery.html

Thanks

Hi, what are the pros and cons (if any) of using .html instead of .htm?

Thank you

Im redoing a site and i need to keep the exact same page links which all end in html.
not sure if there is any pros or cons

from what i can see each page needs to be changed to html manually and i get a warning suggesting that the index page be left as is.

If when you Publish your site and it asks for a name (this is always confusing) the default is index and Xara appends the .htm

But if you change this to index.html then each page is published as .html

Also, you can changed the page title on the home page (Website Properties > Page) to index.html and this will cause all pages to be published as .html though Xara gets cranky and asks if you really want to do this. Just say, Yes and be done with it.

thanks. Worked fine

And you can name your first page anything or anything.html and Xara will still publish everything correctly.
If you then want you site to open on anything.htm(l) then you have to set that up in your .htaccess file on the server.

Why? some might ask.

Well, you could have 20 single page websites all in the same folder and join them together though a unifying NavBar...


Go on, you know you wnat to try it,

Really? That's fabulous! They told me that the home page had to be named index.htm. Period. So I publish my password-protected php sites with index.htm and then index.php and the rest of the php pages.

I've been trying to figure out how to publish a really big web site with Xara, without using a lot of folders. So... what you are saying... is that I can have twenty 25-page web sites in the root directory, with just one of them named index? All the rest could be total php pages? I'm gonna do that very soon... that will solve a big problem for me.

Thanks. You are the best, Acorn!
