Org Blk URI

Just a quickie. I stumbled across a post from Andrea that describes his package Org Blk URI. It’s pretty simple: it’s just a way of extracting the content at a URL into an Org source block.

That’s handy for capturing Web content that is apt to be ephemeral. The example Andrea gives is a job ad and, of course, we’ve all run across Web pages that might not remain available but that we’d like to retain. This package is a nice way of capturing them into an Org file that we control.

I haven’t installed yet but it seems like a handy tool to have.
