NEWLY UPDATED VERSION The code does more things than it used to, so I put a help button on each page. The program lets a user download the links on a page. For instance, if you want to download articles from "ruthFullyYours.com", you would type that URL in, and you would be presented with a list of links that were on the home page, and you choose which ones you want, then click 'download' (or 'concatenate', if the articles are not PDFs and you want to concatenate them). There are little helpful features such as: 1) if you click on a link, you get to see what the text was associated with it (assuming you checked a checkbox) 2) you can also narrow down the parts of the pages you want looked at. 3) You can also filter out html tags that might be dangerous (such as 'script'). I use this program every day, because I sent articles to my black and white kindle e-reader, and read them offline in the great outdoors. I can't guarantee the code works on all websites. There are always new tags in html5, not all of which I have added to the lists in 'extend.vb'. But it does work for many sites, and eventually I will test it on more. Users can remedy any missing tags/attributes if they understand the code by adding them to the lists in 'extend.vb'.
