howto open html using trminal
good evening,
I came across a little problem: I downloaded a grub-doc in html format. Its in my /usr/share directory. I can open that html document using gui (open with firefox), but how would I open it using the command line? Im using Ubuntu 8,04. I remember a cmd like gtksudo or something similar. Nontheless how would I do that? thank you...Rich

Define open. What are you trying to accomplish?
Do you want to view the raw html contents?
gtksudo is a graphical form of sudo. It will allow you to run apps as root in a GUI environment. I would say you already have read permissions.
In addition this is a duplicate post.

open html
good morning,
I posted again due to the ambiguous answer on previous post.
Iam trying to open a html file to read it in human form from the command line. Can this be done? ....Rich

So how does starting a new thread with the same question hope for a better answer? And why did you not ask a follow up question in the same thread?
I am just as guilty for replying.
I see a couple of options; elinks, lynx and links are command line web browsers but they do not have graphics capabilities. Conversion utilities like html2text (remove the HTML code) are another possibility.

Can't you just view it using nano or vi?

The OP has requested human readable form so not unless the HMTL tags etc have been removed.
