How to sync web content with LO Writer?

Is there any possibility to export the next website to LO Writer and if this page updates any content, automatically LO Writer update?

… something like: Open LO Writer > Insert any Field with the link above, each website page should be inserter in LO Writer pages.

maybe have a look to Web scraping - Wikipedia

Writer not being just the right tool for that,
would probably need some kind of macro, and likely narrow down your use case.


for reference, that’s your example “page” :

...
<script type="text/JavaScript">
document.write('<frameset cols="420,*" frameborder="no" border="0" >');
document.write('<frame name="hleftframe" src="'+tabs[0]+'" scrolling="no">');
document.write('<frameset rows="30,*" >');
document.write('<frame name="pheader" src="pageheader.html" scrolling="no">');
document.write('<frame name="content" src="' + F + '" >');
document.write('</frameset>');
document.write('</frameset>');
</script>

any tool suggested?

the aforementioned wiki page says for example Selenium (software) - Wikipedia

so far, updates are already flagged with “(since Vxx)”

I’m not sure, what you need?

  • we use scraping usually to get elements from pages
  • you seem to document(?) complete pages?

Scraping is usually not about having the layout intact.
Maybe a generated pdf of your pages would be more useful…
