Hello, is it possible to use FFF to process downloaded HTML story files on my local machine? Would it be a 'Download URLs' or 'Get story URLs from Webpage' where "webpage" might be an html TOC in the directory? I've tried both. When I use the 'Download URLs' option, it takes them with no errors but doesn't do anything with it.

file format like this---
file:///D:/Scripts/Python/test%20dirs/Dark%20Earth%201%20-%20Chapter%201.html

These are downloaded unprocessed files (using Firefox>File>Save), which means login request info is still on it, along with wrappers, comments, etc. If I use BeautifulSoup to strip out the chapter name (<article>.<h3>) and story content (<article>.<p>) in each file and stuff those in a simple HTML page, could it be used to then build a book?

Thank you for help, pointers, etc!
