Q:

FilesMatch or Files for Single File HTACCESS

My site has subdirectories that include index.html files.
www.domain.com/.htaccess 
www.domain.com/index.html
www.domain.com/otherstuff/index.html

I have the following in the .htaccess file to run some php code on my main index page, but I know it also affects the index.html files in my subdirectories. How do I write it so it applies only to www.domain.com/index.html?
<Files index.html>
AddHandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .html
</Files>

I found this:
Precise targeting of the Filesmatch directive
But I'm not interested in using an alternative method like redirecting because it doesn't answer the question. I want to know if it's possible to do it this way and if it is, how? If it's not actually possible, then I'll know that for future reference and will always use an alternative. 
Thanks!

A:

See the RemoveHandler docs:

The RemoveHandler directive removes any handler associations for files with the given extensions. This allows .htaccess files in subdirectories to undo any associations inherited from parent directories or the server config files.

So in the "otherstuff" directory, add another htaccess file that says:
<Files index.html>
RemoveHandler  .html
</Files>
