You would need to do a bit filtering to get the exact text you need. For example, to get the text for this post you could run:
open https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34970917 || filter "(attributes.class == 'toptext')" || table innerText
open https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34970917 || filter "(attributes.class == 'toptext')" || table innerText
open https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34970917 || filter "(nodeName == 'BODY')" || table innerText
Often you can use crul to discover the html structure in the results table. With a `find "text string"` to filter rows and then a filter on the column values that identify the desired elements.
