Maybe trying eclectic-tech's version solves the issue, because so far it seemed hard to localize it (since everything more or less worked fine for us in our posted samples). If not, maybe posting your code and a precise explanation of what happens and when it happens (also, if that's the case, when it doesn't happen as well) - I'm talking about the issue you're facing - could help in identifying the underlying problem, if any.CieroCeramics wrote: ↑March 30th, 2020, 10:26 pm feeling somewhat ashamed at my lack of skills and overwhelemed with the your guyses talent rendered me a silent observer of this.
however seeing the interaction between Yincognito and cordemanon gave me a new burst of hope. I have been using what I have been calling DocuGetv3 by eclectic-tech (v1 by balala and v2 by yincognito)
for some reason the skin is not properly searching anymore, and instead appearing blank. I think this might be an issue with the google search URL or the User agent. which when trying to look into I was VERY overwhelmed with info that I simply did not understand.
It does NOT seem silly - at least not for me. I like your attitude, to not give up, not compromise and prove things are possible. Love it. Nice finds in terms of code as well, they help here indeed. Like I said, eliminating things you don't need (like tags and stuff done in Lua) is not overly complicated, but the problem comes when trying to make header-like styles from HTML. There are huge variations of styles (and I'm not even considering the internal/external CSS at this point, or, going even further, the different variations of HTML code, like XHTML and such) possible in HTML and covering them all is going to be like trying to catch all mosquitoes in the air. What can be done with reasonable effort is to somehow format the content of <title></title> or <ul><li>...</li>...</ul> before the mass elimination of tags begins (so that you know where to style differently, since tags are the only indication of something's location in HTML and you lose them after that "mass cleaning").CieroCeramics wrote: ↑March 30th, 2020, 10:26 pmI know it seems silly, why the heck would I want that. well it's simple. I am a huge sucker for my sexy UI and I will not compromise.the clunky nature of modern browsers is simply too disruptive to my workflow.
that being said, what I want IS possible. look at this lua script.

the only thing I can't seem to get rid of is the annoying meta tags. which only represents the top half of the page.
I have come to understand regex is really more of a word by word. nay, character by character parsing method, but there's gotta be a way to get rid of those meta tags. and then. once you get that .txt file.
parse it with the ever famed jsmorelys lua scroll text
putting this together should theoretically be simple. but without a working example for parsing the actual web data I am left helpless in going any further.
That being said, I don't quite get the issue you have with the meta tags: the image you posted seems to indicate that you already took care of that. Of course, these tags can be a little different from others, in that they are not explicitly closed (i.e. they have no end tag, like, for example </meta>), but this shouldn't be problematic if either the Rainmeter or Lua's regex bits are adjusted to handle it...
I think your code would be helpful here. I am quite busy today so I can't guarantee I'll take care of it, but hopefully the code won't be (yet) too complex to try something, eventually.
