The web preferences resembles the settings of most web browsers. Use these preferences to define how DEVONthink's displays web documents and "live" web pages. Web Content These settings define how DEVONthink treats special web contents: Enable ...: Check these options to use installed third-party plugins, (such as Flash or RealPlayer plugins), and to run Java applets or JavaScript scripts contained in, or linked to, a web page. Block ...: Check Block pop-up windows to block pop-up windows, which are often advertisements; check Only automatic JavaScript windows to block only pop-up windows opened by JavaScript. Uncheck this option if the web page you're visiting uses pop-up windows for actual content. (Some web content management systems do this.) Check Block zooming to keep web sites from automatically zooming windows to full size. Check Block advertisement to block common inline advertisements provided by some search engines. Zoom text only: Check to zoom only the text and uncheck to use Safari-4-style zooming. Images These settings define how DEVONthink displays graphics in web pages: Display images when the page opens: Check this option to display web pages with images. Just remember, if unchecked, you may miss some information. Animate images, Loop animation: Check these options to run web graphics animations and to run animated graphics in a loop. Scale images to fit: Check this option to scale (large) images to fit. Accept Cookies Cookies are little text files with information that web pages store on your computer use to recognize you as a returning customer, among other things. While most cookies are harmless, you may want to control what is being stored on your hard disk. Always: Accept all cookies. Never: Don't accept any cookies. Only from sites you navigate to: Accept cookies, but only from web sites you navigate to (not from other sites, such as ad trackers). Delete cookies on quit: Delete all stored cookies when you quit DEVONthink. Fonts Set the fonts you want to use for displaying web pages; set separately for variable-width and fixed-width text.
Note: Hold the ⌥ Option key to restore the default fonts.
Style Sheet You can further control the way DEVONthink displays web pages by applying a CSS style sheet that changes the rendering on the fly. Click Select and choose your style sheet to apply it to DEVONthink's integrated web browser. Note: This is for experts since it modifies how all web pages are displayed and can lead to undesired effects. Text Encoding Select your desired text encoding for displaying web pages. Automatic tries to choose the best available encoding. If this does not work for you, choose a more appropriate text encoding for your language group.
