About this extension
File this for me helps you filing content for your archive. By default it does not save entire webpages, but filtered content (`body article`) as markdown or html.

Since version 0.36 File This can save complete pages as HTML (desktop and mobile) or PDF (desktop only)

A modern way to collect newspaper clippings or scraps.

Out of the box it offers three ways, be sure to choose one in the settings and allow needed permissions after install:
  • native messaging *
  • download to download folder **
  • remote API

* not available for Android Firefox, ** in 0.36 fixed for Android Firefox

For the remote API you have to setup an endpoint, it should process a `"Content-Type": "application/json"` POST request.

The native messaging method can be used to process content: mail, pdf, DB e.g..

You can also load a remote config file (json), to tune specific domain settings.
Example:
{
"default": {
"s":"default",
"n":"body article",
"e":{
"h":"article h1", // title
"a":"[itemprop=author],article [class*=author]", //author
"p":"//time/@datetime", // time/date
"i":"article [class*=intro]" // introduction
},
"c":"script, style ,.socials, [class*=__ad__],[class*=sharing],[class*=share],.modal,.icons,[class*=warning]"
}, // clean/filter article
"www.nrc.nl": {
"s":"NRC",
"n":"body article",
"e":{
"h":"article h1",
"a":"article .article__byline__list__link__author",
"p":"//time/@datetime",
"i":"article .article__intro"
},
"c":"script,style,.lees-ook,.article__footer,.print-layout-warning,.share "
},
}


The default settings works for WordPress articles.
