I saw this [thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-export-comments-under-a-specific-post/230008) but I'm not sure there can't be an easier way.

Our board has a topic with 38 great posts in it.

I want to capture just the posts and put them in a word processor.

If I select all and copy, I get the posts but an enormous amount of junk as well. Same with a PDF.

Forgive me if I missed an easy way mentioned somewhere else. Thanks.

I'll let Jay clarify, but I wanted to ask if the raw markdown path works for you:

[quote="Robert, post:2, topic:230008, username:merefield"]
use the raw format URL, e.g.: https://meta.discourse.org/raw/230008
[/quote]

Right now if I visit <https://meta.discourse.org/raw/246401/> I can copy the following:

Is there other information you want included/omitted from there? ^_^
