can't force HTML extension

HTML extension?
All of my attempts give me output files with the HTM extension. I need the
HTML extension in order for to publish on my web server.
Please help!

whack the webmaster who runs the server upside the head. There shouldn't be
any difference, EXCEPT that depending on the web server software, you may
have to rename the main page's file.
In other words, when you visit my site and specify a url of
http://www.rdpslides.com (and don't specify a particular file), the server
will hand your browser a file called index.html. If I've saved my main page
as index.htm, you won't see it. Since most of the software I use to make
the pages wants to call it index.htm, I have to be certain to rename the
file when I modify and re-upload it to my server. All the other files on
the site are htm files.
Other servers may use a different file as a default "main page" in this
situation, so you need to find out what that has to be.
However, internal links to other .htm or .html files should be handled
equally by the web server.
One other thing you might be running into ... I don't know how NT web
servers handle this, but Unix/Linux DOES treat case as significant. IOW,
myfile.htm, Myfile.htm, myfile.HTM and myFile.htm are all *different* files
as far as it's concerned. Windows in general and MS programs in particular
have a tendency to rename your files to suit the MS model of what filenames
should look like. Initial cap, the rest lowercase. If your links point to
files named things like myfile.htm or MYFILE.HTM, but Windows decides
they're prettier as Myfile.htm and they get uploaded to a unix/linux web
server that way, all of your links will break.
