Finished Programs / DONE: Copy selection on webpage as text with text hyperlink URL's and ASCIIart
« on: March 23, 2011, 04:28 PM »
Often I like to copy text from a webpage into a text editor. When I copy hyperlinked text in a browser, I loose the URL when copying to text, and must go back and manually copy the link, then place it next to my text in my text editor.
I would like a utility that will do this for me automatically when I copy and paste from a web browser to a text editor.
As I was thinking about requesting this, a secondary thought came to me, which is silly but I suppose it could be entertaining, would be to additionally convert the images contained in the selection of text on the web page to ASCII art text when pasting to the text editor. The ASCII art dimensions should not be too large as to overwhelm the text in the editor, and the ASCII art images should be placed in the text relative to where the images were positioned on the web page. The ASCII art should be an optional feature.
