What is a Web Clipper?

Web clipper, as the name suggests, is a function that allows you to save content from web pages into Monolog. It's not only a method for information preservation, but also an aspect of knowledge management.

How to Use the Web Clipper?

  • Easy Clipping: You only need to provide a web page link, and Monolog will automatically fetch the content of that page, saving it as a note.
  • Permanent Saving: Sometimes web page content might disappear for various reasons, but with the web clipping feature, you can save these contents permanently. This not only allows you to revisit these contents later but also to record your thoughts and feelings after reading.
  • Flexible Clipping Options: When clipping a web page, you can choose how to handle the images within the page. By default, images will retain their external links, but you can choose to clear all images, or download and save them to iCloud, turning your note into an offline note, convenient for viewing when there's no network available.

Read It Later: Crafting the Perfect Reading Loop

Saving the web page as a note is just the first step, you can use the tools provided by Monolog to further think and organize the information.

  • Bidirectional Links and Hierarchical Tags: You can add annotations anywhere in the text. Due to the mechanism of Linked References and Unlinked References, all related annotations and their locations within the text will be automatically displayed, providing you with a structured reading experience.
  • Text Highlighting and Information Filtering: Text highlighting feature allows you to highlight important information, while Hierarchical Tags help you with effective information categorization and filtering.
