What is TXH file?

The TXH file has been categorized as Document Files. It was designed by Bram Moolenaar. Document Files consists of 574 similar files. Light Markup Language Text appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Vim. This was created by Bram Moolenaar. There are also 4 alternative programs to handle the TXH file. You can use TextEdit, gedit, Windows Notepad, NotePad++ text editor in case Vim cannot be used.

How to open TXH file?

An often recurring problem with Light Markup Language Text is that TXH is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TXH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TXH file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Vim

The first step is to check if the computer has the Vim program installed. To do this, enter the name Vim into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TXH files.

Programs to open TXH file

Remember to download programs supporting TXH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Vim with TXH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TXH file to open in the Vim application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Vim application as the default for handling the TXH file.

Step 3. Update Vim to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Vim program, it is possible that Light Markup Language Text requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Bram Moolenaar page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TXH file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TXH file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TXH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TXH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TXH file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TXH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bram Moolenaar
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TXH files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TXH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TXH file again. However, some background programs may block the TXH file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
