Emacs: HTML, Extract URL 🚀

Here's a command to extract all URLs in a HTML file.

put this in your Emacs Init File:

(defun xah-html-extract-url (Begin End &optional RootDIR FullPathQ)
  "Extract URLs in current block or selection to `kill-ring'.

When called interactively, copy result to `kill-ring', each URL in a line.
If the URL is a local file relative path, convert it to full path.
If `universal-argument' is called first, don't convert relative URL to full path.

This command extracts all text of the forms
 <‹letter› … href=‹path› …>
 <‹letter› … src=‹path› …>
The quote for ‹path› may be double or single quote.

When called in lisp code,
• Begin End are region begin/end positions.
• RootDIR is a dir path. relative paths are computed from.
• Optional FullPathQ, if true, convert local links to full path, with respect to XDIR.

Returns a list of strings.
