Output content of a text file on a web page

I have an offline html file that contains documentation and I have to output content of text file (in my case it is source code). Is there a way to include content of this file to html page, using only client-side feature (HTML itself or JS)?

Index.html

<html>
    <head>
    <style>
    p.source_code
    {
        font-family:"Courier New"
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>
            Some content
        </p>
        <p class="source_code">
            <!-- place for output content of file main.cpp -->
        </p>
    </body>
</html>

main.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
        printf("Hello World");
    }

I want my page in browser looks like

    Some content

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
        printf("Hello World");
    }

You can simply use an iframe if both the HTML file and the source file are local:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Example</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <iframe src="the-file.txt">
    </iframe>
  </body>
</html>
