How do you grab websites from wikipedia? When I do it through ScrapBook to UR, there is a wasted space on the left which I don't know how to get rid of, see example

Do you have the same problem with WR, Surfulater, or other more web-oriented PIM? If so, how do you get around it?

Thanks for your help

InfoQube grabs it perfectly. Example here:

I have managed to grab a copy in InfoQube but the copy does not have "live" hyperlinks which I would like. (Although with some effort I could edit the HTML and find them..)

I need to manually make a Wiki entry to have the Item in the grid link to the page I copied, right?

I am hoping that I missing something.

As I work around my limitations (and perhaps InfoQubes), I am linking from items in InfoQube to items in UltraRecall using the URL syntax Wikipedia. Does Webresearch or Surfulator offer similar functionality?

UR with ScrapBook grabs it perfectly as well. The thing is that I want to save only part of the website, the one that contains "meat", I don't want the panel on the left side. But if I choose only part of the web, the empty space on the left side is still there (and on top as well), taking valuable space, and the extracted page then looks horrible in my PIM (because there is not enough space if I have my explorer open on the left side):

I suppose it's some css style, so I was wondering how other programs deal with it. Most of other pages I've come across don't have this "problem", but as wikipedia is a great source of information, it's quite annoying.

Oops, I'll try again...

All I did, was
1- copy the main wikipedia url to the clipboard
2- Hit the IQ hotkey (mine is Win-N)
3- Enter some item description (in this case Wiki test)
4- Paste into the URL textbox
5- Check Copy Content (if not already checked). I also like to capture in MHT format, though HTML is another option. There are more options you can choose (where it goes, give it a due date, etc)
6- Click Add Item

All hyperlinks work, including the show/hide in the top-right corner!

@quant
What exactly did you select? I selected the 4 main information boxes and it clipped correctly (in IQ)

Today's featured article

I updated the screenshots page to include one with just a section of the page:

http://sites.google.com/site/infoqube/screenshots-1

Selecting just the main part of a Wikipedia page and capturing it works in Together (and probably most Mac PIMs since they share a common engine):

WebResearch (Macropool) does a good job capturing Wikipedia pages.

In the latest version (0.9.24 pre-rel 3) InfoQube now includes a FireFox extension (toolbar buttons and context menus).

So grabbing content is now a single-click.

I'll have to try it again.
But can IQ export all info to standard formats?

But can IQ export all info to standard formats?

Is there a standard format for PIMs?

1- Data is stored in JET so visible to Access
2- Rich text is stored in HTML format, to ease Import / Export (not RTF)
3- All grid and cell content is accessible through ODBC, so Word, Excel can view grid content
4- Copy / paste has XML mode copy which copies all item info in XML format
5- Copy / paste has tab-delimited mode to paste grid content
6- An of course, more I/O to come upon user request and available time.
