Is there a way to get an article’s raw or original content?
My goal is mostly to put articles in some area (ex: singular learning theory) into a tool like Google’s NotebookLM to then ask quick questions about.
Google’s own conversion of HTML to text works fine for most content, excepting math. A division may turn into p ( w | D n ) = p ( D n | w ) φ ( w ) p ( D n ), becoming incorrect.
I can always just grab the article’s HTML content (or use the GraphQL api for that), but HTMLified MathJax notation is very, uh, verbose. I could probably do some massaging of the data and then an LLM to translate it back into the more typical markdown $ delimited syntax, but I’m hopeful that there’s some existing method to avoid that entirely.
Just paste this into the editor at lesswrong.com/graphiql (adjusting the “id” for the post id, which is the alphanumerical string in the URL after /posts/), and you can get the raw content for any post.
Thank you! I tried it on this post and while the post itself is pretty short, the raw content that i get seems to be extremely long (making it larger than the o1 context window, for example), with a bunch of font-related information inbetween. Is there a way to fix this?

Yeah, you can grab any post in Markdown or in the raw HTML that was used to generate it using the
markdownandckEditorMarkupfields in the API:Just paste this into the editor at lesswrong.com/graphiql (adjusting the “id” for the post id, which is the alphanumerical string in the URL after /posts/), and you can get the raw content for any post.
