From 63845322688feea6d4fdb0d679a03670ab28bd20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: samgozman Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 11:50:21 +0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: fetch_page returns Markdown, links and tables kept fetch_page and refetch get now return the page as Markdown by default: headings, lists, links, tables and code blocks kept, scripts and hidden elements dropped. format: "text" (get --format text) gives the plain text as before, and the JavaScript and empty-page detection keeps measuring plain text. - Links are absolute, resolved against the address after redirects (or ). Search engines' click-through links (DuckDuckGo's uddg, Google's /url?q=) point at their targets, tracking parameters are dropped, and a target repeated right after itself shows only its text. Only http, https and mailto links keep a target. - A data table becomes a pipe table, without rows and columns that are empty throughout; a layout table becomes its cells' text. - Code blocks keep their whitespace and language, fenced longer than any backtick run inside them. - An element with a block inside (a custom element, a span around a div) is laid out as a block, as a browser does; a link stays one line. - save: true writes a .md file (.txt with format: "text").

A table wider than 64 columns or with more than 20,000 cells is now laid out as its cells' text, and quotes and lists stop adding prefixes after six levels. At 2 MB, the largest page refetch reads, every probed shape now converts in under 0.2 s to at most three times its size. - Links in a layout table lost their target: the cells were rendered twice and the second pass took each link for a repeat. - Code blocks lost blank lines to a pass over the whole document. - Hidden table rows and cells were shown; a code block's Copy button and other skipped elements reached its text, which is now gathered in one pass without recursion. - Dropping a tracking parameter re-sorted and re-encoded the rest of the query; the other pairs now keep their order and encoding. - A saved page that is not HTML is .txt, not .md.

  • inside
    , nested about 95 deep) indented every line of its content once per level, past the six-level cap that counted only
      /
        : 1 MB of HTML gave 40 MB of Markdown in 1.2 s. List items now count their own nesting. -
          made 22-character markers on every line; a start outside 0 to 999,999 is ignored. - A link target keeps no userinfo, so https://good.example@evil.example/ shows as https://evil.example/. - Clip walks the text up to its limit instead of converting the whole of it to runes.
