Arch Chinese Scraper Extension

This is an extension to allow Chinese language learners to more efficiently create Anki decks, or to otherwise to make their character and word learning more efficient. When at a character page in archchinese.com, this extension enables the user to scrape the character and words on the page, which are copied to the system clipboard in a format suitable for importing into Anki.

Both the traditional and simplified characters are copied when both are available, but please note that when there is not a one-to-one correspondence between traditional and simplified character, as with 复/復/複, you must manually add/edit the character definitions.

[https://gist.github.com/Khouderchah-Alex/ebfc75ddbac177d0aef189da19b18920](This script) can be used such that words will only be added to a file when all of the characters are known:
