This is very nice _IF_ the page is short. Otherwise, there is a stack overflow
set html to html's text items
there.
You can't set a start and end delimiter, can you?
However, for anything under a hundred lines or so it seems to work fine.

Aye, there's the rub. How do you suggest selecting the text? There
isn't, as far as I know, a document.selectall() directive. And if
you want a script to run automated you can't have a "select the text
on the page" step.
