3.6 Local files

Use ‘M-x wwe-find-file RET’ to render local HTML files. Choose the file in the mini-buffer. If you’re editing the file, type ‘RET’ again - the command defaults to the current file. Entering ‘file://’ URLs with the function ‘wwe’ works as well.

In dired call ‘M-x wwe-dired-find-file RET’ with point on a file to render an HTML file.

Use a prefix argument ‘C-u’ with the above commands to provide a URL as a base for link URLs.

You can also render files opened with Tramp.

If the chosen file is a directory, WwE checks for an index file as set in ‘wwe-index-files’ - if one exists, that file is rendered. If there’s no index file the directory is opened with ‘find-file’ (see ‘wwe-open-local-directories’ to disable this).

Type ‘o s’ (‘wwe-show-source’) to open the source file or switch to the file’s buffer for editing.
