Notes
Before using this command, ensure you have a valid web page object variable created from previous actions like "Go to web page" or "Navigate on web page".
The "Page text" attribute extracts visible text content from the page, which can be useful for text analysis or searching for specific content.
The "Source code" attribute returns the complete HTML of the page, which may be large for complex websites.
The extracted attribute's format depends on the selected attribute type - URLs and titles are typically strings, while source code is HTML content.
