Question 1

What types of lists does this tool extract?

Accepted Answer

The tool extracts both ordered lists (

). It identifies the list type and preserves this categorization in the output, so you know which lists were numbered and which were bulleted.

Question 2

Does it handle nested lists?

Accepted Answer

The tool extracts direct child list items using ':scope > li' selector, which means it gets items from each list level separately. Nested lists are treated as separate lists rather than being merged into their parent. This prevents confusion and gives you clearer, more organized data.

Question 3

Can I export the lists in different formats?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can export as formatted text (with bullets/numbers), JSON (for developers), or CSV (for spreadsheets). The text format preserves the visual appearance, JSON provides structured data, and CSV works great for database imports.

Question 4

What if the list items contain HTML?

Accepted Answer

The tool extracts the text content from each list item, stripping out HTML tags. This gives you clean, readable text. If a list item contains nested elements like links or emphasis tags, you'll get just the text without the markup.

Question 5

Can this be used for scraping navigation menus?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Navigation menus are often built with

elements, making them perfect for extraction with this tool. You can extract site navigation structures, breadcrumbs, dropdown menus, and footer links.

Question 6

Is the data processed on my computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All extraction happens in your browser using JavaScript. The HTML and extracted list data never leave your computer. We don't store, log, or have access to any data you process with this tool.
