wiki : captureWebPage (plugin)

Captures a picture of the specified web page, and saves it to a given wiki page.

For example, to capture http://google.com

{{captureWebPage url="http://google.com" page="wiki:captureWebPage example.png"}}

The first time the plugin is created, the picture is created, and it can also be recreated at any time by clicking the button that the plugin renders :

Note. Ensure that the page name ends with ".png", otherwise you won't be able to use the image as intended.

You can see the results here : captureWebPage example.png. It is useful in conjuntion with the thumbnail (plugin), to produce something like this :

It is common to have the captureWebPage plugin within the wiki text of the png wiki page itself.
