What a saved web page looks like once FileConcat has read it
A sample blog post saved from Chrome. The article comes back as markdown; the cookie banner, the menu, the sale box and the footer do not.
<file path="four-day-week.html" language="html"><![CDATA[ # What a four-day week did to our support queue Saved from https://blog.harbor-supplies.example/four-days In March we moved the support team to a four-day week. Nobody's hours went down, the same forty hours now fit into four days, and the queue stayed open five days with a rota for Fridays. Three months on, the first reply time went from 4 hours 10 minutes to 3 hours 40 minutes. We expected it to get worse, because Friday cover is thinner, and it did not. ## What got better, and what did not Tickets reopened less often too. Our guess is that longer days leave room to finish a hard ticket in one sitting instead of handing it over at five o'clock. What did get worse was the Monday backlog. Friday's rota answers the urgent tickets and leaves the rest, so Monday starts with about a third more open tickets than it used to. - First reply: 4h 10m to 3h 40m - Monday backlog: up by about a third ]]></file>
Sample web page, read by FileConcat 2.9.
What comes through, and what does not

Not read

Common questions
Is my page uploaded to a server?
Not to us. FileConcat reads the page in your browser and there is no account to create. The only upload is the one you choose to make, when you paste or attach the text at your assistant.
Which saved pages does it read as an article?
A page saved from Chrome or Edge as Webpage, Complete, which marks the file with the address it came from, and a page saved with the SingleFile extension. Webpage, HTML only and Firefox leave no such mark, so the page is read as HTML source, markup included, the same as an .html file from a code project.
What is left out?
Menus, ads, cookie banners, text the page hides and everything else around the article. A formula comes through as its TeX source and a form field as the value it shows.
Can I get a page without saving it first?
Yes, with the FileConcat Clipper for Chrome. It reads the page you are on and turns the article into text without saving a file first.
Can I get plain text without tags?
Yes. Set Format to Plain before you copy or download. The tags go, and each file sits between two rules with its name, under a short summary and the file list.
Can I convert many web pages at once?
Yes. Drop several files or a whole folder. They come back as one text file with each page under its own name, so an assistant that limits attachments takes them as one.
