This is a personal tool developed for use in the Online Learning Center at NMSU Alamogordo.
While it can be used elsewhere, it’s specifically designed to work with Canvas pages edited via the Design Plus editor.
Note: I do not own the libraries used—this is purely a utility for our office.
- Open the Canvas page and click Edit.
- Switch to the RAW HTML Editor.
- Click inside the textbox and press
CTRL + A, thenCTRL + C. - Open the HTML Parser and click Format Clipboard Contents.
- Return to the Canvas page and press
CTRL + A, thenCTRL + V.
That’s it! The rest of the app’s functionality is mainly for my own debugging or for inspecting the code behavior.
Eventually, I’d like to implement full webpage scraping so the parser can operate without manual copy-paste steps.
Feel free to fork or adapt this for your own use—but keep in mind it’s tailored for our workflow.
