If you're looking for a software solution to quickly grab important text you want to remember from visited webpages, you can turn to HM WebCopy. It's a straightforward tool that can save offline pages of copied text, together with the source URL and current date.Following a swift setup operation, you come face to face with a plain and simple interface, where the Clipboard content is automatically detected by HM WebCopy, which offers to save it to an offline HTML page.

Save copied text from web pages to offline HTML files

Before saving, you can change the stylesheet formatting mode from minimal to original or default. A HM WebCopy note, the source URL and current date will be added to the HTML file but any of them can be excluded. What's more, you can insert extra HTML text at the beginning or end of the document.A bunch of settings can be configured from the options panel of the software utility. For example, you can change the default configuration of the initial view, set the insertion order of the placeholders or prevent the tool from removing scripts, applets and references to media resources in special HTML tags.

Add the source URL and current date to the saved document

Furthermore, you can set the preferred path for saving all HTML documents to, pick the character encoding mode from ANSI, Unicode and UTF-8, and switch from English to German language for the interface.A couple of aspects should be mentioned about HM WebCopy. Firstly, it's not designed to copy any graphical content so only text will be displayed in the HTML documents. Secondly, it's necessary to first copy the target text from the web browser before launching HM WebCopy because it cannot detect it if the Clipboard was empty before starting it up (even if you copy something afterwards).Taking everything into account, HM WebCopy is a decent tool for helping you collect text snippets from visited websites. According to the developers, it works with Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Waterfox, Pale Moon, Basilik, and Iron. However, we feel that it could use some improvements.
