It would have been great if there is a way to name the output files by the url address where they are extracted.
This is useful to manually check faulty texts.
A feature like this:

trafilatura --input-file links.txt --output-dir converted --name-from-url

The file generated from "www.example.com/page3" would be named "www.example.com_page3.txt.".

I want to add 2 cents to this issue:

the use of -o flag it's confusing , in some examples I found -o output-file.txt but the output is a output-file.txt directory with hashed-filename.txt

also consider: using --markdown flag I expected to get a hashed-filename.md file at least

Thanks for this great tool! Hope to see these enancements soon!

…m output paths

Introduces two new CLI arguments to allow fine-grained control over how output file paths are generated:

--filename-template: Specify a template string using variables like {domain}, {hash}, {ext} to define a custom directory structure and file naming scheme

--max-length: Set a maximum character limit for generated file paths, intelligently truncating if needed while preserving essential components

Includes documentation updates covering the new options, examples, and troubleshooting.

Closes adbar#754
