What is an RHTML file?

An .RHTML file is primarily an R Markdown HTML document or a Ruby HTML template. When used in the R ecosystem, it combines standard HTML with embedded R code. Software like RStudio uses the knitr package to process the R code and generate a standard HTML web page. Alternatively, web developers use .RHTML files as Ruby templates to build dynamic web pages.

How to open RHTML files?

You can open and edit an .RHTML file using a code editor like Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, or RStudio. Because these files contain plain text and HTML code, any standard web browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox can display the structural HTML parts. The raw R or Ruby code will appear as text unless processed by a server.

Identify your file

viewer.online/rhtml analyzes .RHTML files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it. Because an .RHTML file has multiple possible meanings, we recommend using viewer.online/rhtml to identify the actual format of your file.

Summary

Because .RHTML files use the known HTML format, viewer.online/rhtml can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
