The Live Server

Jordan Gray edited this page Sep 20, 2022 · 4 revisions

HTML Designer implements a simple HTTP server which, when active, serves the active document on the local host. This is useful for testing your web pages locally in a real-world browser environment.

Menu > Tools > Live Server > Start will start the server, and automatically open your default browser.

The page will continuously reload as to remain up-to-date with the active document, and show changes made within the editor as soon as they are made.

This will not stop until the server is stopped with Menu > Tools > Live Server > Stop.

Configuration

Within the registry, the following keys exist to alter the behaviour of the server :

WEB_SERVER_REFRESH_DELAY_INT - The delay in seconds between each refresh of the page. Default is 0.

WEB_SERVER_PORT_INT - The port to serve the page on. Default is 8080.
