Re: [libreoffice-users] Using LO Writer to edit HTML

To keep things simple you will only be able to edit html files created 
and saved in Libre Office. To edit all other html files please use a 
simple text editor like notepad for windows or gedit for linux. Can you 
tell us the source you "read" and "looked up" that made you believe any 
html file could be edited with Libre Office?
