when I click on the text I it doesnt download the file and it only previews it instead of downloading Can you write me a proper code ? thanks

try `Click here to download` use the download attribute to force it as download — Dorvalla, Apr 17 '21 at 17:24
That's a text file, not a PDF, why is your question one thing but code another? — Nora, Apr 17 '21 at 17:24
