selection2rtf.js, proof of concept
Just wanted to show this thing off:selection2rtf.js
Install this script.
Open some page.
Select something.
Press the ugly 'button' that pops up when you have finished selecting.
Works in Opera 9.26 and Opera 9.5 (there is some problem in 9.5 with opening generated rtf-file directly from Opera, but you can save it somewhere and open it yourself).
For now it can handle: usual text, small subset of html-tags (bold, italic and etc), links and images.
It uses the same technique to extract images as convert2phf.js but while convert2phf processes entire page and converts it to HTML-based formats (html with data uri embedded images and mht), this script works with current selection and generates RTF -- the format which has no connections and similarities with HTML, so be aware that total converting will be either not possible or just too complex to implement.
Generated files can be opened in MS Word, or OpenOffice Write.

Convert2PHF.js -- saving in single htm or mht file

Have fixed it a little: i forgot to do escaping of curly brackets and backslash (they are control characters in RTF) in output sequence.

Support for <pre> <code> <sup> and <super> was added.
Also, i have fixed quirks with carriage return that was not recognized as white-space character.

I think right now the most annoying feature is that the RTF button pops up even if I click on a video (like from you tube)

Now ugly button appears only when you have a text selected.

Hi profiT,
I just tried this, it's great and I mentioned something about it on the wish list. Just to see what would happen I associated rtf files with Windows Live Writer. This opened up a new instance of Live Writer, and a new post, but it never pasted anything (I didn't think it would, but it got all that way...)
Do you suppose there's any way to get this to export and paste to Live Writer?
It just seems to me that your "Ugly Button" might possibly just be an ugly duckling. Could it be a "Blog This" button in disguise? <-- I don't know, I'm just hoping you know how to do it!
