Hi Max, There's a command-line parser program. When installed it's called plucker-build. (Before it's installed, it's called something like spider.py - don't ask me why the strange renaming happens. I guess it's to give make something to do.)
The program seems to be designed to do a daily sweep of multiple sites and pack that into a single document with a fixed name. You have to fiddle with a bunch of options to make it just pluck a single document and give the result a unique name. You'll probably have to build the documentation or read it from teh web site if the build fails. For example, to take a local file and make it into a PDB in the current directory, I have a silly little shell script like the following, since I can never remember the requisite options. #-------------- contents of ~/bin/pluckit #! /bin/bash # # syntax - pluckit htmlfile title THISDIR=`pwd` plucker-build --no-urlinfo -H "file:$1" -f $2 -N $2 --pluckerhome=$THISDIR #--------------------------- It may well be worth trying to get the desktop to work. If you get it working, I'd love to hear about it.
