Viewing MHT inside of tiddler?

[Mark S.]

I don't know if this is part of normal FF install, or if it's one of my plugins, but I can view MHT files on Firefox.

My attempts to embed it using _canonical_uri and the "<object...>" tag didn't work. Is there any
way I can make alternative media formats like MHT view inside a tiddler?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

It seems this format isn't well supported in browsers. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML
So it will be hard to get something working.

Did you try iframe? But my brief research just now does imply one need browser addons.

Thanks Mat, that was the ticket. Have to see if the plugins still work after the end of the year.

Given the nature of MHTML (storing html and related files such as images in mime-encoded single-file format) and Tiddlywiki (storing HTML and optionally related files such as images in HTML), It might be nice to have a MHT import/export plugin to translate between the two instead of keeping the native MHT format inside Tiddlywiki.

Just a thought.

Hi Mario,

The support for MHT isn't too bad right now, though I see that the Chrome version doesn't include images and Firefox support may end in November (with a lot of things).

The idea of MHT is certainly good. Being able to save whole web pages in a single file is very useful. The only thing more useful might be a way to view epubs embedded in a TW document. I've found an epub viewer for FF, but alas it doesn't work as an embedded viewer (it's more of a stand-alone application).

Thanks,
Mark
