Wget can follow links in @sc{html} and @sc{xhtml} pages and create local
versions of remote web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of
the original site. This is sometimes referred to as ``recursive
downloading.'' While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion
Standard (@file{/robots.txt}). Wget can be instructed to convert the
links in downloaded @sc{html} files to the local files for offline
viewing.

As of version 1.12, Wget will also ensure that any downloaded files of
type @samp{text/css} end in the suffix @samp{.css}. Obviously, this
makes the name @samp{--html-extension} misleading; a better name is
expected to be offered as an alternative in the near future.

@sc{html} document, then the documents linked from that document, then the

documents linked by them, and so on. In other words, Wget first
downloads the documents at depth 1, then those at depth 2, and so on
until the specified maximum depth.
