The HTML layout produced by elogd is horrendous to deal with programmatically; I give up.

 


 

Hi,

I'm writing a greasemonkey script to slightly alter the look of the pages served by the ELOG server.  One difficulty that I'm struggling with is how to identify what type of page ELOG has created.  While I have several methods to determine the page type, such as a log entry vs. log entries summary, the solutions are not straight forward and not clean.  As far as I tell, there's no specific identification in HTML document currently that describes and identifies the type of page being served by the ELOG server.

So, I'm requesting that the pages created by ELOG be identified in some fashion with the META element, such as:

    <meta name="description" content="elog log entry" />

or

    <meta name="description" content="elog log summary" />

 

or even using the keywords attribute:

    <meta name="keywords" content="elog log summary" />

Sorry, I didn't yet have time to implement your request.

Have you considered to download an entry in plain text? Like this entry you can load with

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66555?cmd=Download

which should be much easier to interprete. If you write your entries in ELCode or plain format, it should be even easier.
