browse-url-of-file is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `browse-url.el'.
It is bound to <menu-bar> <HTML> <Load this Buffer in Browser>, C-c C-z v.
(browse-url-of-file &optional file)Ask a WWW browser to display file.
Display the current buffer's file if file is nil or if called interactively. Turn the filename into a URL with functionbrowse-url-file-url. Pass the URL to a browser using thebrowse-urlfunction then runbrowse-url-of-file-hook.

In emacs I don't think this is built in, I may be wrong, but if not here is a function to do it:
(defun open-in-browser() (interactive) (let ((filename (buffer-file-name))) (browse-url (concat "file://" filename)))) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
