In my Discourse forum I have some very long topics and I can’t find a way to either print them or export them to other formats (like MS-Word for example). These are the ways I have tried but without success:
Print from the browser: only a certain number of the first posts are printed, after which only blank pages follow.
Save as HTML from browser: same as above.
Select the whole topic to copy the contents to the Windows clipboard: you cannot select the whole topic, after a certain number of posts nothing is copied anymore.
So, the only possibility I have found is to select single parts of the topic and then paste them one by one in Word or similar, but obviously this is a very time consuming job.
I will be grateful if someone could suggest me a way to solve the problem.
Depending on how many replies there are, adding /print to the end of the main topic URL (eg. https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-print-or-export-very-long-topics/223138/print) could be useful to you. I think it still has a cut-off point, but in a quick test it gave me far more replies than the standard browser alternative.
Other than pressing Ctrl + p any time you want to either print or export to PDF/HTML, if you want to export to markdown you can visit the raw route like https://meta.discourse.org/raw/223138
