How to use

Automatic:

1. Download Novel-Grabber.zip and execute the launcher inside
   (If you can't execute the jar, try to start it via the terminal command: java -jar NG-Launcher.jar)
2. Enter the link to the novel's Table of Contents page
3. Click on 'Check' to fetch novel info and chapter list
4. Grab chapters

Using a table of content:

1. Enter the URL to the novel's "table of contents" page and retrieve all links on the site.
2. Remove all unwanted links from the selection window.
3. Input the chapter container the site uses. I strongly suggest using the "auto detect" function, it generally works well and enables grabbing from different sites.
   Or you can specify a CSS selector manually. Guide
4. You can remove unwanted content from the chapter via the "blacklisted tags" window (flag icon at the top).
   Don't forget to set title, author, cover etc.

Using Chapter-To-Chapter navigation:

1. Input the URL of your starting point and ending point chapter. (Inclusive)
2. Input the selector for the "Next-Chapter" button. You want to select the <a> tag of it. (via css selector)

Usage: [] = optional paramaters {} = arguments for paramater

To host your own Telegram bot you need to add the line telegramApiToken=your_token to config.ini

By default the bot will read the output for /info and /sources from files inside the telegram folder. The files need to be named info.txt and supported_Sources.txt respectively.

To start the bot you need to use the -telegramBot parameter: java -jar Novel-Grabber.jar -telegramBot
