Thanks for letting me know about org-protocol-capture-html, I had not seen it. Capturing text directly to an Org file sounds more manageable. > By the way, you might want to consider integrating something like > Readability or the Python package python-readability (aka > readability-lxml) for reducing web pages to the primary content.

Then we could save the HTML as a backup (for later web browsing) and then include the primary text in the Org file for easy viewing straight from Emacs. Seems your package is already well-suited to that part. :) I also wanted to keep the design relatively abstract so that things like this could be added later. One other feature idea that could be implemented as a post-processing hook is responding to "downloadable" links (like links to YouTube videos) by running a backend program (in this case, "youtube-dl") to go take care of fetching the apprapriate content. > By the way, here's some code I've been using to read and/or capture >web > pages from URLs on the clipboard: > [...] It's helpful to see an example of org-capture in use, I still have more to learn about it. I'll put a little example in the README for org-board. Cheers, Charles
