converted to bookmarklet:

javascript:(function() {
  var result = [].map.call(document.querySelectorAll("dt a, h3"), function(a) {
    return ((a.href) ? "" : "\n# ") + a.textContent + ((a.href) ? " - " + a.href : " #");
  }).join("\n");

  var textarea = document.createElement("textarea");
  textarea.value = result;
  document.body.appendChild(textarea);
  textarea.select();
  document.execCommand("copy");
  document.body.removeChild(textarea);
  alert("Content copied to clipboard!");
})();

copy and add this as a bookmark, click on the bookmark while html opened
