GameFAQ's HTML walkthroughs as ePub
GameFAQs is a good source for game walkthroughs and guides. I like to save local copies of guides I find useful and put them in my Calibre library in case my internet goes down or the author decides to remove them.
Most of the guides are just plain-text which are easy to deal with. But some newer ones are full HTML like this. Any ideas on how I could make this into an ePub? Third-party sites or browser extensions (I have access to both Chromium and Firefox-based browsers) are fine. |

There is a quick and dirty manual way, but needs a couple of minutes of cleanup.

That was my backup method; I've done it before with some old mozilla archive formats files when the plugin got deprecated.

There are very basic python scraper tutorials you can use…just make sure you have permission of the website owner to use their info.

I tried WebToEpub after adding ?single=1 to the end of the URL.
It worked (though not in my usual browser). Also I'll need to edit the ePub to fix issues (duplicated sections, messed-up tables, etc) Last edited by ownedbycats; 04-28-2023 at 12:06 AM. |
