Sup it worked but I didn't get the benefit of stripping the CSS or not printing as PDF for archiving

These files are more manageable than other formats, such as ODT, and PDF; and they can be edited over any system, unlike ODT and PDF.

Also, these files are not subjected to "malicious scripts" which can be hidden inside ODT (Macros) and PDF.

Additionally, they are faster to load, and can be parsed with terminal software such as "ELinks" or "Lynx".

LibreOffice takes time to load, so the copy and paste task might take between 30 to 60 seconds. ODT files are often larger than an average subject HTML file.

For malicious scripts modern browsers sandbox that but the other two points are indeed benefits, so if you wanna add it can you make a screenshot and the listing (I notice in https://github.com/awesome-scripts/awesome-userscripts/issues/81 you still didn't do it and I suspect you are just spamming now for reach expecting others to do the work without even understanding this repo or why graphics were painstakingly created is for your benefit of increased conversion, just browse the repo click expand then you will understand why I keep asking for graphic)

This repo gets a lotta eyeballs if you want the benefit you have to put some work into it. Like I get you hate GitHub yet you're still using it for self-promo so the least you could do is browse the README to figure out how it's structured and why the graphic is important (for your benefit)

Should there be arrows or descriptive text within or outside of the images?

An HTML page.

Select text.

Menu,

Select format.

Result.

What I meant was you should disable userscript, visit raw feed page, screenshot that, paste it to Photoshop, then enable userscript, refresh feed page, screenshot that, paste in canvas, slice off left half, then draw an arrow pointing left to right and place in center of img, then paste it here or upload as assets/images/<your-script-name>.png

[adamlui]

Actually those steps are for the RSS script this ones screenshots work!

[adamlui]

If you make the listing you could include 2 screenshots side by side (in smaller dimensions) to show the effect

[adamlui]

Actually the 2nd shot should be the Download Started alert

[adamlui]

And then you can append -a and -b to the img file names

[adamlui]

Or merge then into 1 img better

Could this be an animated image?

• page
• selection
• popup
• html
• download
• result

Would that order be acceptable?

[adamlui]

@sjehuda yes animated gif is even better
