How does Evernote’s Web Clipper plugin or Announcify plugin only get relevant article/post/content part of the page? Here is an screenshot from evernote plugin:
No matter which website you visit which is completely different from other layout wises, these are always able to get you article/post/content part of the page.
Each website has different layouts, some have sidebar, some don’t, different tags, for main/article/content part, some use <article> or <section> of HTML5 others use <h1> > <p>, some use <h2> > <p> and others don’t use at all. So there are different combination of tags as well as layouts of websites.
Can anyone suggest a solution to getting main article/post/content please via Javascript or PHP?
You can do a simple DOM parsing and search for the

Looks quite good, and gives technical explanations if you want to write something of your own.
