Remove parameter name from url using htaccess

Question

I have the following url

http://localhost/mybb/index.php?url=widgetboard/questions&step=1&id=1

which turns into the following url after applying rewrite rule

http://localhost/mybb/widgetboard/questions/step/1/id/1

Is it possible to remove the 2 words ie "step" and "id" from the url and add .html at the very end of the url

my code is

Options -MultiViews

# turn rewriting on
RewriteEngine On

# When using the script within a sub-folder, put this path here, like /mysubfolder/
# If your app is in the root of your web folder, then please delete this line or comment it out
RewriteBase /mybb/

RewriteRule ^(.+?)/(step)/([0-9]+)/(id)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?url=$1&$2=$3&$4=$5 [NC,L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.+?)/(category)/([0-9]+)/(answer)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?url=$1&$2=$3&$4=$5 [NC,L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.+?)/(step)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?url=$1&$2=$3 [NC,L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ index.php?url=$1&$2=$3 [NC,L,QSA]

You can insert this rule just below RewriteBase /mybb/ line:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?url=$1/$2&step=$3&id=$4 [L,QSA]

Change your second rule to:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?step=$1&id=$2 [NC,L,QSA]

Then if a user clicks this url: domain.com/3/120 your PHP script will receive index.php?step=3&id=120
