Answer 1

You can use:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /stripelatice_ui/

# To externally redirect /stripelatice_ui/file.html to /file
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /stripelatice_ui/(.+?)\.html[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/?$ $1.html [L]
