# ClippingMode

Clipping removes uninteresting parts of a page such as navigation bars and advertisements, to prevent irrelevant information being added to the index. Set this parameter to one of the following options:

- `NONE` - Do not clip pages.
- `CSSCLIPPING` - Clip pages using CSS selectors. To specify the parts of pages to keep and remove, set one or both of the parameters ClipPageUsingCssSelect and ClipPageUsingCssUnselect.

- `READABILITY` - Clip pages using the Mozilla readability library. You can configure the behavior of this library by setting options in a JSON file specified by ReadabilityOptionsFile.

- `SMARTPRINT` - Clip pages using the SmartPrint algorithm.

  DEPRECATED: The `SMARTPRINT` option is deprecated in Knowledge Discovery 23.3 and later. It will be removed in a future major release.
