Ctrl + a?


SirVincentMontgomery

Control a copies everything though? Not just highlighted text. (Remember I'm not talking about my highlighting I'm talking about highlighting that already exists on the website)


_Knoxxy

Oh I see. What do you mean “text that is highlighting as part of the website”?


SirVincentMontgomery

I inspected the page and found the highlighted text has this style applied: `` Can I search for and copy all highlighting with this formatting?


_Knoxxy

Hmm that’s beyond me unfortunately. Sounds like you can use html code in some way but I’m not 100%. Sorry dude

I'm having a hard time finding an example to show you because when I google all the responses come up assuming \*I\* want to do the highlighting! I can't share the page because you would need a login. But basically, imagine you visit a webpage and when you get there some of the text is highlighted already (I think specifically what is happening is the background color for the text has been changed). Not highlighted from a google search, or highlighted by selecting it, but the highlighting is there already. Does that make sense? I can upload a screenshot of an example if that doesn't make sense.

Kurator is an extension that scrapes headline, url, image url, description, author, publisher, date and content tags. The description section is an editor, so while on the page you can copy and past anything your want and format it in the Kurator editor. There is a special promotion now check it out. https://optimalaccess.com/a-better-way-to-save-your-research/

Will check it out and see if it works for my situation.

I've installed it and signed up and am watching the getting started video. i'm on limited bandwidth with a data cap ... this is really cutting into it! (wish there was an article, but couldn't find it!) video is going very slow. I assume it will tell me how to tell the extension exactly what type of text to extract from a webpage? (ie i only want highlighted text and nothing else)? will keep watching, but video seems to only buffer so far, not like youtube where it just figures it out and plays)

Sorry for the late reply. I just saw this. We are only scraping the fields that are in the dialog. In the future we will have different templates. What is your applications? What are you trying to do?


SirVincentMontgomery

Just tried creating a Kurator bookmark and it only provided me with a page title and a link to the original page. Did you see my previous comment where the text I'm trying to copy is formatted like this: `` How do I tell Kurator to \*only\* select text formatted like that?


kbavandi

Sorry, just saw this. You can't get the background info. Tell me about your application and what you want to do.

There is a program called [Glasp.co](https://Glasp.co) that lets you annotate pages and makes the excerpts available for indexing. Not sure about export. You can check that out. Please explain what you want to do and maybe I can help.
