Borrax HTML
View HTML files inside your vault with working links, CSS and scripts.
- Overview
- Scorecard
- Updates1
View .html / .htm files stored inside your Obsidian vault — with working links, CSS and scripts.
Open any HTML file in your vault and it renders in a sandboxed frame, loaded directly from its vault location, so relative stylesheets, images, scripts and links all resolve correctly.
Features
- Opens
.htmland.htmfiles in a dedicated view (just click the file). - Desktop: the file is loaded directly (
file://) in an isolated Electron<webview>, so it renders exactly like opening it in a browser — linked CSS, inline<style>, scripts, links and external web fonts (Google Fonts, etc.) all work. - Mobile: falls back to a sandboxed iframe with an injected
<base>so relative CSS/links still resolve. - Links to other files in your vault open inside Obsidian (same tab or a new tab — your choice); external links open in your system browser.
- Adjustable zoom level for rendered HTML.
- Optional "H" badge on folders that contain an
index.html(click to open it). - Right‑click the tab → Reload HTML or Open in external browser.
