making a paragraph in html contain a text from a file

Question

I have an html paragraph (inside a div) in which I want to display a simple fixed text. The text is a bit long so I'd rather the text will be in a seperate txt file.
something like

<div><p txt=file.txt></p></div> 

Can I do something like that?

Answer 1

You can do something like that in pure html using an <object> tag:
<div><object data="file.txt"></object></div>

This method has some limitations though, like, it won't fit size of the block to the content - you have to specify width and height manually. And styles won't be applied to the text.
