   User interface

   - Option: add entry in the context menu of the webpage

     Check this option to display an entry for SingleFile in the context menu of the webpage. The context menu of the SingleFile button in the extension toolbar is displayed whether this option is checked or not.

     It is recommended to check this option

   - Option: overlay a shadow on the page during processing

     Check this option to overlay a shadow on the page when SingleFile is retrieving page resources. This reminds you that you should not close the tab.

     It is recommended to check this option

   - Option: open saved pages in a new tab

     Check this option to display the saved page in a new tab. This option can be useful, for example, in order to check the page is properly saved.

   - Option: auto-close the tab after the page is saved

     Check this option to automatically close the tab after saving the page displayed inside.

   - Option: keyboard shortcut command

     Use this option to select which custom keyboard shortcut command (defined in the extension shortcuts page of your browser) will trigger the current profile. When a shortcut is assigned here, using it will save the page with the settings of this profile.

   File name

   - Option: template

     The template allows you to customize the file name of saved pages. You can use any valid character and "/" to create sub-folders (with the option "save pages in background" active). You can also use any variables from this list and functions from this list anywhere in the template.

     Invalid characters are automatically transformed and collapsed to underscores. File names cannot exceed 192 characters and are truncated if longer. The invalid characters are: `[` `~` `+` `\` `?` `%` `*` `:` `|` `"` `<` `>` and control characters from 0 to 31 in the ASCII table. When you want to customize the infobar, you can prefix the special characters `%`, `<`, `>`, `{`, `}` and `|` with `\` (e.g. `\>`) to keep them in the infobar content.

     Template examples:

     - `{page-title} ({date-iso} {time-locale}).html` will produce filenames like "Introduction to SingleFile (2018-09-15 11_06_03 PM).html" for a page having "Introduction to SingleFile" as title.
     - `archives/{url-last-segment} - {date-iso}` will produce filenames like "welcome - 2018-09-15" for a page hosted on https://example.com/welcome.html. The saved files will be saved in the sub-directory "archives".
     - `archives/{year-locale}/{month-locale}/{day-locale}/{page-title}.html` will produce filenames like "Introduction to SingleFile.html" stored into 3 sub-directories in the "archives" folder, one for each part of the save date (e.g. "2018/9/15/Introduction to SingleFile.html").
   - Option: max length

     Enter the maximum length of the filename (without the extension) and its unit (bytes or characters).

   - Option: replacement character

     Enter the character used to replace invalid characters in the filename.

   - Option: replace emojis with text

     Check this option to replace emojis in the file name with their unicode text representation.

   - Option: save the filename template data into the page

     Check this option to save the template file data to the page. This allows you to recover template data previously used when saving the page and, for example, to ensure that the file is saved in the same directory as the original file when saving the page again.

   - Option: open the "Save as" dialog to confirm the file name

     Check this option to display the "Save as" dialog in order to confirm the file name before saving the page. If the option "save pages in background" is unchecked then a prompt dialog will be displayed instead of the "Save as" dialog.

   - Option: file name conflict resolution

     Choose the most appropriate action when the filename of the saved page is conflicting with existing ones on the filesystem. The "skip duplicate files" action only detects duplicates among files downloaded during the current browsing session.

   File format

   - Option: format

     Select the output format of the saved file:

     - `"HTML"`: HTML file (default format). This format produces HTML files that do not depend on JavaScript to be opened.
     - `"self-extracting ZIP (universal)"`: self-extracting ZIP file that can be opened on any platform. This format produces files smaller than the "HTML" format but requires JavaScript to be enabled to open the file.
     - `"self-extracting ZIP"`: self-extracting ZIP file that can be opened on any platform from HTTP but not from the filesystem in some browsers (e.g. in browsers based on Chromium or WebKit) without SingleFile to be installed. This format produces files smaller (approx. 1%) than the "self-extracting ZIP (universal)" format.
     - `"ZIP"`: ZIP file. This format produces ZIP files that cannot be opened in a browser but can be opened in the annotation editor.
   - Option: password

     Type a password to encrypt the ZIP file with AES-256 (compatible with Winzip). Be careful, if you lose the password, it will be impossible to open the file. Enabling this option increases the CPU consumption and the time needed to save or read a page.

   - Option: embed image

     Check one of the options to embed an image when saving the page as a ZIP file (self-extracting or not). This allows you to display the saved page as a PNG image when the filename extension is changed to ".png".

   - Option: create a root directory

     Check this option to create a root directory in the ZIP file. The directory name consists of a timestamp and the identifier of the tab where the saved page is displayed.

   - Option: do not append data after the ZIP data

     Check this option to remove the data appended after the ZIP data. The resulting file may be easier to open with some archive managers that do not support ZIP files with appended data. Enabling this option increases the time needed to save a page.

   - Option: make text searchable

     Check this option to insert the text content of the saved page into the self-extracting ZIP file. This makes it possible, for example, to search for pages from the text. Note that if the selected format is "self-extracting ZIP (universal)", the text content is encoded in UTF-8 but the page is declared in ISO-8859-1.

   HTML content

   - Option: compress HTML content

     Check this option to remove all HTML comments and unneeded tags, spaces, quotes and whitespace characters. Checking this option helps to reduce the size of the file without altering the document.

   - : save original URLs of embedded resources

     Check this option to save the URLs of the resources embedded into the saved page. URLs are stored in attributes with a name prefixed with "data-sf-original-" and suffixed with the original attribute name (e.g. "data-sf-original-src", "data-sf-original-href") for HTML contents. For CSS contents, URLs are stored as comments beginning with "original URL:".

   - Option: do not include the saved date

     Check this option to remove the saved date included in the saved page and displayed in the infobar.

   - Option: save raw page

     Check this option to save the raw HTML file that the browser received. When this option is checked, the page will be saved as if JavaScript was disabled. Checking this option may alter the document.

     It is recommended to uncheck this option

   Infobar

   - Option: display an infobar when viewing a saved page

     Check this option to display the ℹ button at the top right of the page when viewing a saved page. By clicking this button, you can get more information about the saved date and open the original URL.

     It is recommended to check this option

   - Option: template of the infobar content

     The template allows you to customize the content displayed in the infobar. You can use any valid character, `\n` for new lines or `\t` for tabs. You can also use any variables from this list anywhere in the template. If the template or the resulting content is empty, the infobar will display the saved date by default.

     Template examples:

     - `{url-href} ({date-iso})` will produce contents like "https://www.example.com (2018-09-15 11 06 03 PM)".
     - `Title: {page-title}` will produce contents like "Title: Example Domain" for a page having "Example Domain" as title.
   - Option: open a prompt dialog to edit the infobar content

     Check this option to display a prompt dialog in order to confirm the infobar content before saving the page.

   - Option: include infobar in the saved page

     Check this option to display the ℹ button at the top right of the page when viewing a saved page in a browser where SingleFile is not installed.

   - Option: keep infobar open

     It is recommended to uncheck this option

   - Option: move in the head element the styles found outside of it

     Check this option to move all the style elements found outside the head element into the head element. This can be useful to avoid a FOUC ("flash of unstyled content") when displaying a saved page.

     It is recommended to uncheck this option

   Images

   - Option: group duplicate images together

     Check this option to avoid saving multiple times duplicate images. Checking this option should not alter the document in modern browsers and can considerably reduce the size of the file. This option is ignored with archive formats based on ZIP files.

     It is recommended to check this option

   - Option: save deferred images

     Check this option to save all the deferred images (or frames) that are not yet displayed. This may help to save all the images without scrolling the page. This feature does its best effort and is not guaranteed to work on all sites. It will also increase the time needed to save a page.

     It is recommended to check this option

   - undo removes by clicking the button or the button (undo all)
   - redo removes by clicking the button
   - print the page by clicking the button or by pressing `Ctrl-P`
   - save the page by clicking the button or by pressing `Ctrl-S`

   You can use the following keyboard shortcuts when removing contents with or :

   - `Tab`: expand the selection
   - `Shift-Tab`: reduce the selection
   - `Space`: remove the selected element
   - `Ctrl-Z`: undo the last removal
   - `Ctrl-Shift-Z`: redo the last removal
   - `Ctrl`: select/unselect multiple elements, releasing the `Ctrl` key validates the selection
   - `Shift`: temporarily reverse the type of removal (i.e. removal of inner elements or removal of outer elements) on the last selected element and reset the other selected elements if any
   - `Escape`: reset selected elements
5. Template variables

   The template variables are used to customize the infobar content or the file name of a saved page. They help to insert dynamic values like the save date or the page title.

   You can limit the length of a dynamic value by adding `[maxByteSize]` or `[maxCharSizech]` just after the variable name. The `maxByteSize` value is the maximum length of the value in bytes (e.g. `{page-title}[20]` to limit the title to 20 bytes). The `maxCharSize` value is the maximum length in characters (e.g. `{page-title}[10ch]` to limit the title to 10 characters).

6. Template functions

   The template functions are used to format values in the template or to insert values depending on parameters.

   The syntax of a function call is `%function-name<parameter>`. You can pass multiple parameters separated with a pipe character (e.g. "%function-name<parameter1|parameter2>"). Like the template variables, you can limit the length of a dynamic value by adding `[maxByteSize]` or `[maxCharSizech]` just after the function name.

   - `%if-empty<value|default>`: returns the `default` value if `value` is empty (e.g. "%if-empty<{page-title}|Untitled>" to return "Untitled" if the page title is empty). You also can pass multiple values separated with a pipe character (e.g. "%if-empty<{page-title}|{page-heading}|Untitled>" to return the page heading if not empty, the page title if not empty or "Untitled" if both are empty).
   - `%if-not-empty<value|default>`: returns the `default` value if `value` is not empty (e.g. "%if-not-empty<{page-title}({page-title})> to return the page title surrounded by parentheses if the page title is not empty). You also can pass multiple values separated like with the function `%if-empty`.
   - `%if-equals<value|expected|trueValue|falseValue>`: returns the `trueValue` if `value` equals `expected` or the `falseValue` otherwise (e.g. "%if-equals<{page-title}|Untitled|{page-heading}|{page-title}>" to return the page heading if the page title equals "Untitled" or the page title otherwise).
   - `%if-not-equals<value|expected|trueValue|falseValue>`: returns the `trueValue` if `value` does not equal `expected` or the `falseValue` otherwise (e.g. "%if-not-equals<{page-title}|Untitled|{page-title}|{page-heading}>" to return the page title if the page title does not equal "Untitled" or the page heading otherwise).
   - `%if-contains<value|expected|trueValue|falseValue>`: returns the `trueValue` if `value` contains `expected` or the `falseValue` otherwise (e.g. "%if-contains<{page-title}|Untitled|{page-heading}|{page-title}>" to return the page heading if the page title contains "Untitled" or the page title otherwise).
   - `%if-not-contains<value|expected|trueValue|falseValue>`: returns the `trueValue` if `value` does not contain `expected` or the `falseValue` otherwise (e.g. "%if-not-contains<{page-title}|Untitled|{page-title}|{page-heading}>" to return the page title if the page title does not contain "Untitled" or the page heading otherwise).
   - `%substring<value|start|end>`: returns a substring of the `value` (e.g. "%substring<{page-title}|0|20>" to return the first 20 characters of the page title, "%substring<{page-title}|5>" to return the page title without the first 5 characters).
   - `%lowercase<value>`: returns the `value` in lowercase (e.g. "%lowercase<{page-title}>" to return the page title in lowercase).
   - `%uppercase<value>`: returns the `value` in uppercase (e.g. "%uppercase<{page-title}>" to return the page title in uppercase).
   - `%capitalize<value>`: returns the `value` with the first letter in uppercase (e.g. "%capitalize<{page-title}>" to return the page title with the first letter in uppercase).
   - `%replace<value|search|replacement>`: returns the `value` with all `search` values replaced by `replacement` (e.g. "%replace<{page-title}| |_>" to replace all spaces by underscores in the page title).
   - `%repeat<value|count>`: returns the `value` repeated `count` times (e.g. "%repeat<{page-title}|3>" to repeat the page title 3 times).
   - `%index-of<value|search|fromIndex>`: returns the index of the first occurrence of `search` in `value` (e.g. "%index-of<{page-title}|"Title">" to return the index of the first occurrence of the string "Title" in `page-title`).
   - `%last-index-of<value|search|fromIndex>`: returns the index of the last occurrence of `search` in `value` (e.g. "%last-index-of<{page-title}|"Title">" to return the index of the last occurrence of the string "Title" in `page-title`).
   - `%length<value>`: returns the length of the `value` (e.g. "%length<{page-title}>" to return the length of the page title).

7. Integration with other extensions

   SingleFile can receive messages from other extensions. The messages must be sent to the extension ID of SingleFile and must be a string containing one of the following values:

   - `"save-page"`: save the current page
   - `"edit-and-save-page"`: edit the current page in the annotation editor and save it
   - `"save-selected-links"`: save all the links in the selected content
   - `"save-selected-content"`: save the selected content
   - `"save-selected-tabs"`: save the selected tabs
   - `"save-unpinned-tabs"`: save the unpinned tabs
   - `"save-all-tabs"`: save all the tabs
8. Technical notes
   - All images are converted into base64.
   - All resources except frame contents are injected in the document using data URI scheme.
   - Frame contents are injected as text in the document by using the srcdoc attribute.
9. Known issues
   - All browsers
     - For security reasons, you cannot save pages hosted on https://chrome.google.com, https://addons.mozilla.org and some other Mozilla domains. When this happens, 🚫 is displayed on top of the SingleFile icon.
     - For security reasons, SingleFile is sometimes unable to save the image representation of canvas and snapshots of video elements.
     - The last saved path cannot be remembered by default. To circumvent this limitation, disable the option "Misc. > Save pages in background".
     - The following characters are replaced by their full-width equivalent symbols in file names: ~, +, ?, %, *, :, |, ", <, >, \. The replacement characters are respectively: ～, ＋, ？, ％, ＊, ：, ｜, ＂, ＜, ＞, ＼. Other invalid charcaters are replaced by _. This is done to maintain compatibility with various OSs and file systems. If you don't need that level of compatibility and know what you are doing, you can change the list of forbidden characters and the replacement characters in the hidden options.
   - Chromium-based browsers
     - You must enable the option "Allow access to file URLs" in the extension page to display the infobar when viewing a saved page, to save or to annotate a page stored on the filesystem.
     - If the filename of a saved page looks like "56833935-156b-4d8c-a00f-19599c6513d3", disable the option "Misc. > Save pages in background". Reinstalling the browser may also fix this issue.
     - Disabling the option 'File name > open the "Save as" dialog to confirm the file name' will work if and only if "Ask where to save each file before downloading" is disabled in chrome://settings/downloads
   - Firefox
     - The "File name > file name conflict resolution" option does not work if set to "prompt for a name".
     - Sometimes, SingleFile is unable to save the contents of sandboxed iframes.
     - When processing a page from the filesystem, external resources (e.g. images, stylesheets, fonts etc.) will not be embedded into the saved page.
10. Troubleshooting unknown issues

    Please follow these steps if you find an unknown issue:

    - Save the page in incognito.
    - If saving page in incognito did not fix the issue, reset SingleFile options.
    - If resetting options did not fix the issue, restart the browser.
    - If restarting the browser did not fix the issue, try to disable all other extensions to see if there is a conflict.
    - If there is a conflict then try to determine against which extension(s).
    - Please report the issue here with a short description on how to reproduce it.

    Suggestions are welcome :)
