Amazing how many products exist purely due to Google's lack of motivation to do things right. Will be using this a lot.

Does Google Apps Script expose an API to do this though? It would be easier to download an html page from within GDocs without having to run something locally.

Thank you for publishing this.

After years of trying to edit things locally and share/publish on Google Docs I gave up.

You either have to commit fully to Google Docs or sidestep. I'm sidestepping with smalldocs at this time.

This looks really useful. Does it also preserve images, tables, and formatting when exporting from Google Docs?

Behdad, why isn't this just part of Google Docs?
