Cannot create clipping with certain characters in title

[phubers]

When trying to clip from a webpage with "|" in the title, obsidian-clipper does not strip illegal characters from the file name, resulting in an error message in Obsidian (and no clip).

I have a similar issue when using {title}. Is there anyway to strip illegal filename characters from {title}?

Unfortunately, pipe character ("|") is commonly used in web page titles. Bugfix should also include other forbidden characters which may also be used in page titles.

Therefore, only solution till this is fixed is omiting {title} from config or manualy clip such pages.

Some characters breaks clipping. Firstly i thought it was limit for characters amount. But looks like certain characters breaks clipping. Looks like the author forgot to url-encode the clipping content

I made a userscript obsidian-webclip-as-markdown.user.js that clipps ok.
There is no need for remote 3rd party services for this

Just updated. Now images will be displayed by Obsidian via http url obsidian-webclip-as-markdown.user.js

@Flashwalker Any chances to have a version without characters limit in the future? 🙂
