I’m finally getting around to experimenting, and I’m about to convert my Evernote database. As I’m experimenting, this site (a fun article, BTW):
theguardian.com/commentisfr … dictionary
refuses to play nicely. From the share sheet, if I choose Markdown, it’s blank (0 KB) in my Global inbox. But if I choose Markdown (Clutter free), it works.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something about certain sites that causes this?
Much thanks,
Keith
Sites like this are increasingly difficult to capture since the content is often dynamically loaded from remote servers. We can’t guarantee a capture on every site will be successful.
Alas, but good to know. Makes sense. Thank you!
Oh! But if I may: Why does the clutter-free option work?
I believe the clutter free is using an external service to process it, and they may handle dynamic content better.
I have a similar problem as you’re describing. What’s worked for me is copying/pasting content as a RTF document. A lot of the formatting comes along for the ride, but it’s no longer the webpage itself. You can also do a web archive, which generally works if you have internet access (although classification may not work as well). Another option is to “print as pdf” and try to send that to DTTG. I have limited experience with DTTG, but am using it for some of what you’re describing.
Thanks. It’s the one strength of Evernote: It creates a good copy of the page sans ads and such.
The problem with printing to PDF on iOS is that it fails to save the hyperlinks. I had coffee with a retired writer from Apple yesterday, and I mentioned this. He didn’t believe me. 
He got out his iPad and printed a web page to PDF. No working links. 
I’d rather avoid sending links to my inbox to be captured later on my desktop, but it seems that might be necessary.
You could send the current web page to another app that removes ads, etc and retains links, and then send that to DTTG in some format like rtf. I use Bear (editor) which works like a charm. An added benefit is that I can add extra notes in the Bear copy before sending to DTTG. On my iPad Pro, I have both windows open (Safari in the larger window and Bear in smaller).
Every morning I do considerable reading of web documents and for those I want to save, I send to Bear (or use your favorite intermediary app) and from Bear I usually send to Dropbox as rtfd or another app like DTTG or Scrivener. It’s quite a fast operation.
