Andy,

It can depend on what you are wanting to achieve and what the quality of 
the source is or have they actually tried to stop you copying their page.
Is it reference material? Is it code you want, are you after its media, do 
you want to direct people to the information within a page, you want a 
thumbnail pre-view and a link to the source.
A lot of webpages access data via a back-end server and wont give you their 
data without effort.

   - Out of the box you can copy html and paste it into a tiddler and set 
   the type to text/html
   - You can use Browser tools to copy as text and other forms
   - Online wikis can use iframes, even olnies ones if you save it to your 
   local system.
   - You can print a browser page to PDF and drop it on your wiki (or link 
   to it) I have a tool that does thing and can retain hyperlinks.
   - You can view source and copy it to paste into a tiddler as a lot of 
   HTML works in tiddlers
   - You can take screenshots and drop them in tiddlywiki

And if you still need to programaticaly scrape data from a site consider 
using another tool to do so, then import what you want into your wiki.


Tiddlywiki supports most web standards well, and depending on your need you 
can spend more or less time capturing web resources but there are plenty of 
tools for this even without tiddlywiki that may help you extract exactly 
what your want to put in your wiki.

Regards
Tony
