Capture just the posts in a topic

[Seth_Godin]

I saw this thread 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.

Try doing a control-of to print the page dns copying that.

use the raw format URL, e.g.: https://meta.discourse.org/raw/230008

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?

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

That’s control p, as in print this page.
