Baby steps. The original post was about converting Wikipedia (HTML) into TW format.
For my own use, I have a html2tw regex-based javascript macro that I use inside BJ's web clipper. This works really well with my target sites (though there's always a little clean-up and conversion from remote to local image files). Unfortunately it only works on Wikipedia paragraphs -- for some reason when it sees the main headers it ignores subsequent text. This is the problem with regex-based approaches -- there's always some subtle thing that sends everything off the rails. -- Mark On Friday, February 23, 2018 at 8:35:13 AM UTC-8, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Steve, Mark.S, TonyM, BTC & all. > > Returning to the theme.
