SYNOPSIS

fetch_story [ --help | --manpage | --list ]

fetch_story [ --basename string ] [ --toc ] [ --epub ] url

DESCRIPTION

This fetches a story from the net (including multi-part stories) tidies up the HTML, and saves it. If a story is deduced to be a multi-chapter story, all chapters of the story are downloaded, and saved to separate files.

Fetcher Plugins

In order to tidy the HTML and parse the pages for data about the story, site-specific "Fetcher" plugins have been written for various sites such as fanfiction.net, LiveJournal and others. These plugins can scrape meta-information about the story from the given page, including the URLs of all the chapters of a multi-chapter story.

OPTIONS

--basename string

This option uses the given string as the "base" name of the story file(s) instead of constructing the name from the title of the story.

--epub

Convert the story file(s) into EPUB format.

--help

Print help and exit.

--list

List the available fetcher plugins.

--manpage

Print manual page and exit. Requires "perldoc" to be installed.

--toc

Build a table-of-contents file for the story.

--verbose

Be verbose.
