Save web pages

When saving a web page you can choose between several different file formats.
Web Archive (Safari)
This file format is used by Safari to save a whole web page including images and other external files in a single file. This file format has the advantage that dynamic content of a web site is still usable, because this archive contains the original code of the web site.
HTML Code
Using this format iCab saves only the HTML code of the web page, nothing more. So images and other external files won't be saved.
Address
This option will only save the address of the web site. Opening this address file again, will load the web site from the internet again.
PDF
This saves the web page as PDF file. All images and the text formatting will be saved as well.

Text encoding

Web pages can be encoded in many different text encodings (UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, etc). In general iCab is able to determine the correct encoding automatically to display the text correctly. But there are still a few web pages which do not have a proper declaration of their text encoding and the encoding that is used can't be determined automatically. In this case iCab will use the default text encoding that is configured using the menu item View > Text Encoding. So in case you'll notice that on a certain web page some special characters are not displayed correctly, you could try out a different text encoding setting.
