The Solution

Step 1: Prepare Your List of Titles

Start by saving your list of book titles in a text file. Name this file list.txt and ensure that it is located in a directory that you can easily access. Each title should be on a new line.

Step 2: Open Command Prompt

Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.

Type cmd and press Enter to launch the Command Prompt.

Step 3: Use the Command to Create HTML Files

You will use a simple for loop to read each line of the list.txt file and create an HTML file for each entry. Below are the commands you need:
