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.
