HTML preview in code with me for guest
I'm wondering if there are plans to make HTML preview able in Code With Me. Recently we had a session where we were working on html/CSS, but only the host could use the in-IDE preview. It was cumbersome having to copy paste to other sources before working back in Code with Me.

Sure! Here's a simplified documentation of the process from installing `http-server` using `sudo npm install -g http-server` to running the server:
**Step 1: Install http-server**
To install `http-server`, open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:
```
sudo npm install -g http-server
```
You may be prompted to enter your password. The installation process will download and install the `http-server` package globally on your system.
**Step 2: Start the http-server**
Navigate to the directory containing your HTML file using the `cd` command. For example:
```
cd Documents/my-website
```
Once you are in the correct directory, start the `http-server` by running the following command:
```
http-server
```
The server will start, and you will see the URLs where you can access your website locally in the terminal.
**Step 3: Access the website**
Open your web browser and enter the URL provided by the server. For example, if the server output shows:
```
Available on:
http://127.0.0.1:8081
```
You should enter `http://127.0.0.1:8081` in the address bar of your web browser.
If the default port `8081` is not accessible, try a different port or resolve any conflicts as mentioned in the previous response.
**Step 4: Stop the server**
To stop the `http-server`, go back to the terminal where the server is running and press `CTRL-C`. This will terminate the server process.
That's it! You have successfully installed `http-server` and run it to view your website. Remember to repeat the installation and server startup steps whenever you want to run your website locally.
Note: The `sudo` command is used to run the installation with administrative privileges. Use it cautiously and only when necessary.
