Laravel 5.8.18 with HTML as a valid extension option for views

Laravel 5.8.18 with HTML as a valid extension option for views. I take it from there

It says

HTML file which will not be compiled but rendered as-is

Please give me an example or explain it.

What is "views"? Is it blade template command?

What is "rendered but not compiled"? I use laravel elixir based on npm for my CSS and JS files. Can I add html to the mix now?
