HtmlDocMerge

HtmlDocMerge is a command-line application that enables you to combine HTML documents and URLs into a single file, provided that they're linked via "next" references, such as tutorials. It includes several handy options, like including or excluding pictures.

The program is practical for printing the resulted document or compiling it into an archive to store on the local drive if you don't want to spend time opening, exploring and extracting or printing every single file.

The syntax is htmldocmerge.exe [OPTIONS] [PATH:URL]. To find out the available options, you can type -h. It's possible to include pictures in the output file (excluded by default), supply arguments for wget (for downloading remote files), enable verbosing mode (disabled by default), as well as set the name of the output file (default is out.html).

All you have to do is enter the full paths or HTTP URLs of two or more HTML files to merge together, configure the preferred settings, and hit the Enter key to carry out the task in no time. Afterward, you can open the new HTML file to inspect results.

The tool's not wrapped in a setup kit. Instead, you can copy the downloaded files to a preferred directory on the disk or to a USB flash drive, in order to directly run HtmlDocMerge on any computer by calling its process from a Command Prompt dialog. Unlike many installers, it doesn't add new entries to the system registry, or create files on the disk without your knowledge.

Just keep in mind that wget must be installed on the machine to be able to download and merge remote files. Evidently, this isn't necessary for local files. The utility also uses the boost regex library.

It merged HTML files swiftly in our tests while remaining light on system resources consumption. No error dialogs popped up and it didn't hang or indicate errors.

To wrap it up, HtmlDocMerge supplies you with a speedy and effective solution for joining two or more HTML items into a single file, and it's geared toward users familiarized with console applications.
