Web Data Studio v1.5.5 — TXT Export Stops Losing Your Links, Images & Video

Assets: v1.5.5.zip

This release fixes a data-loss bug in the Web tab's TXT export and brings the Preview pane's TXT (and Markdown) view up to par with how HTML preview already worked.

🐛 Fixed

• TXT export no longer silently drops images and link URLs. Previously, buildPageText() stripped every link down to plain text with no URL at all, and dropped images entirely. Now every link/image/video is preserved as an inline <https://...> reference — e.g. Some link text <https://example.com>, [Image: alt] <https://...jpg>, [Video] <https://...mp4> — so the information survives into the actual saved .txt file.

✨ Added

• Video support in full-page export. readable-blocks.ts gained a video block type, extracted from <video> elements with src/poster resolved to absolute URLs. Markdown export now embeds these as playable <video controls> elements right in the sandboxed preview.
• Rich TXT preview. The Preview pane now scans TXT content for <url> references (and bare URLs) and renders each as the right thing based on file extension: an inline image thumbnail, a playable video, a rounded file-chip (with icon) for downloadable files like PDF/ZIP/DOCX, or a plain clickable link otherwise.
• Live preview while editing. Markdown and TXT previews now live-update as you type in the Text view — no need to save or reopen to see the rendered result, matching how HTML preview already behaved.

🔧 Changed

• Heading uppercasing in TXT export now skips <url> references, since URLs are case-sensitive.
• The Excel "Page Content" fallback sheet now handles the new video block type.

📚 Docs

• Updated the root README.md (version badge + Web tab Export section) and src/sidepanel/README.md (preview-text.ts module notes) to document the above.
