I am working on a project where at some point I want to add the functionality of saving the current webpage as HTML, also in pdf, I am saving page in pdf format by this javascript function window.print() now I want to save it as HTML, but can't find a way to do this, I hope there would be some function to save as HTML. If you know, let me know, it would be a great help.
Note that you can save the current webpage as Html by a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S, and print the page using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P.

Browsers have "Save" functionality built in. Does your site not work with that? – Stephen Ostermiller Sep 06 '22 at 09:15

Use document.querySelector("html").innerHTML to get all the HTML of an page.
Then you have a variable containing the entire document as a string - we can download it with the following function:
function download(filename, text) {
var element = document.createElement('a');
element.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' +
encodeURIComponent(text));
element.setAttribute('download', filename);
element.style.display = 'none';
document.body.appendChild(element);
element.click();
document.body.removeChild(element);
}
