I used this solution to archive web page before. Make this command work in org-attach is a little bit of complicated. I have considered it on current org-attach code. With my Elisp ability, can't write it out. Still not very good at Elisp :( > > This will not bundle the page into a single file, but it is better than > nothing. org-attach does not have to attach exactly one file. You can check out function `org-attach-attach` source code, the "cond" structure is the most commands. I remember org-attach dispatcher used to have a command to move directory directly. But it seems removed. Now, all org-attach commands only supports file. I also search Elisp functions, can't find a function to move directory around. So PATCH welcome. I remember you send patch on Org Mode mailing list, I believe you at least is same kind of newbie like me who can write a little Elisp. :) > > [1] > https://askubuntu.com/questions/411540/how-to-get-wget-to-download-exact-same-web-page-html-as-browser > > Best, > Ihor > > stardiviner <numbch...@gmail.com> writes: > >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA256 >> >> >> Matthew Lundin <m...@imapmail.org> writes: >> >>> Ihor Radchenko <yanta...@gmail.com> writes: >>> >>>> It does not mean that attaching URL directly is not worth including >>>> into org.
