Making a Rough html toc for downloaded web pages

sherryk_us · 06-19-2009, 08:24 PM

I read a lot of fanfiction and often these are in multiple html pages with no handy toc or index page for converting into Calibre as one document.

There is probably a better way, but I found that if first download all the files I want and then open word and just drag the web addresses into a blank page (with a single space between them) and save that document as an html page, I can pull in multiple html files by importing that one document.

Hope this tip is helpful. And if there is a better way, please post it!

Just in case you go to FanFiction.Net, this thread might be useful.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure this will work on my Mac, but it sounds really great!

I tried the online version and it's really great!

Uh, oops, I spoke too soon--it seemed to work, but I can't find the file. I tried it again on a different story and got one of those 404 not found error messages. I'll try it again...

The official FLAG website seems to be a bit temperamental at the moment. You can try this temporarily:
