-
- Usage: Choose the output format you require from the iconbar menu.
- Drag a HTML file to the UnHTML icon on the iconbar
- After a few seconds a save box will open
- Drag the resulting text to a filer or application
-
- Plain Text Format:
- The HTML tags are ripped out, special characters are converted,
- but no formatting is applied.
-
- Impression Format:
- As many HTML tags as possible are processed and the appropriate
- effects are included in the Impression document. This format works
- with Impression Publisher and Impression Style.
-
- Draw Textarea Format:
- As many HTML tags as possible are processed and the appropriate
- effects are included in the Draw Textarea.
- Drag the resulting text file to the !Draw iconbar icon (not an
- open Draw window), find the little text area box and drag it out
- to the required size. If it's invisible, which can happen, perform
- a "select all" operation to find it.
-
- Bookmark Formats:
- Find a page full of useful links, and use this to capture the
- links in the appropriate bookmark format for your browser.
- UnHTML ignores links which are relative to the current page as
- these are unlikely to be useful in a bookmark file, and only
- captures those with a complete URL.
-
- Termite Bookmarks:
- Save the file in the !TermiteIP.Options.Bookmarks directory.
- To access the new bookmark file bring up the default bookmarks,
- choose "add file" from the menu and type in the name of the file.
-
- ArcWeb Hotlists:
- Save the file in the !ArcWeb.wwwcache.BookMarks directory.
- To access the new bookmark file, use ArcWeb's "Change Hotlist"
- option.
-
- Webster Hotlists:
- Save the file in the !Webster.Hotlists directory.
- In order to access the new Webster Hotlist you need to build a link
- to it from one of the other Hotlist files (See !Webster.Docs.hotlists).
-
- Body colour:
- If you prefer the Impression or Draw document to ignore text and
- background colours, switch off this toggle. In particular, this
- is useful if a text colour ends up being the same as the
- background colour.
-
- Bugs: With something as complex and loosely defined as HTML there's
- bound to beĀ things that UnHTML doesn't cope with correctly. I'd
- prefer it if you'd report bugs to me directly, where there's a
- reasonable chance that I might fix them.
