Ability to Toggle On/Off On Specific HTML Tags

[wjwalcher]

It would be great if you could choose/modify/add HTML tags which you would like to include/exclude from being converted to Bionic text. On top of this, it would be cool if these tag preferences could be associated to a given website and persisted. 🙂

@wjwalcher I'm happy to do this, but I'm not sure how I'd store the preferences. I could store the paths to the 'tags', but since js doesn't have a simple way to get an element's path I'd probably have to complicate the program a bit much (i.e. copy/paste from stackoverflow).

@bolshoytoster Maybe what you're thinking of is more complicated than what I had imagined -- I was thinking you could store something along the lines of: { websiteURI: [list of tag names] }

Then, whenever you navigate, just check the stored mapping of URIs <-> list of tags to enable Bionic text on. You could execute a call to document.getElementsByTagName() for each tag to get all the elements with a given tag.

Happy to work on/add something like this myself if you'd like!

In the same vein -- would be nice if you could have an exclusion list of sites not to apply the Bionic text to when you have the extension set to 'Toggle on default'.

@wjwalcher so you mean just blocking a whole tag? That would probably block more than you'd want though.

@wjwalcher the blacklist exlusion list is now present in release 0.0.5 but check for 0.0.6, simply toggle site preference and then toggle off onPageLoad

about the exclusion tags, i think we can treat it like a css selector and use that to eleminate elements that we do not want bolded.

Would that work for how you envision the feature?
