I am trying to link to a local html file but nothing has worked.

I have tried:

\href{file:path_to_file}{File} or \href{run:path_to_file}{File}: does not open since preview/adobe does not recognize the html file as an html file and trying open to open with the preview/adobe. (this works for pdf but not html)
\href{http:file:path_to_file}{File}: preview/adobe opens the browser but the semicolon in the path is dropped, i.e., the browser is trying to open filepath_to_file and fails to locate the file

Using \url{} yields the same behaviors. Any idea?

Edit: also tried \href{run:path_to_file}{File} but did not work either.

Does this answer your question? Link to local (PDF) file // Use run: instead of file: – Teddy van Jerry Nov 30 '22 at 17:17
@TeddyvanJerry Thanks! No run: does not work for html either. I should have mentioned this. – cccfran Nov 30 '22 at 18:38
Can you please show the first error in your log file? And can you give us a short compilable TeX code resulting in this error? – Mensch Nov 30 '22 at 19:36
@cccfran What exactly are you putting for path_to_file? – Dai Bowen Mar 26 '23 at 00:23
