REQ: Batch Convert/Compile HTML/Saved Web Sites

[Tramp]

Would someone please be kind enough to point me in the right direction.


I used an an extension for FireFox called ScrapBook
http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/ to save a bunch of web pages. It
saves everything to separate folders. Each folder has an index.html
file. The index.html files are obviously the starting pages that I would
like to have. I would now like to convert or compile these separate
folders into something that is a single file (mht, pdf, chm, exe or
whatever) I'm pretty flexible about the finished format as long as it
uses all of the files in the folders. I might even consider something
that would compile all of the folders into one big file. I have well
over 1,500 such folders so I am looking for something that will batch
convert the folders. I tried sbook but it's just way to much clicking.

TIA

I'm not aware of anything that recursively converts to chm or mht.

Take a look at dirhtml if you can accept an html file with links to all
the files.

I think the best way to do this is opening the index.html files with
OpenOffice and save them as PDF.
It?s then saving all the files into one PDF so you can delete all the
subdirs.
