Hello,

please how to open an html file in the console under ubuntu? When I use less fichier.html, it instead shows me the source code.

If you open it with a text editor or a pager (like less), you will indeed see the source code.

You need to use a text-based browser, for example links or better yet, w3m. In my opinion, w3m is more complete (but hey, don't kid yourself, a graphical browser is still more comfortable!) 

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install w3m w3m www.google.fr


More information about w3m here.

Good luck

apt-get install ynx
apt-get install links
