Recent reviews

Doesn't get everything, specifically, code blocks. Initial result looks great, but when you look it over and realize HALF the content is missing, it's pretty disappointing. I basically got a better result by highlighting the whole page and doing a copy/paste.... At least content doesn't get lost that way.
