I have artifacts in multiple .html files in multiple directories that I would like to archive. These archives also contain other files.

Is there a way to archive all .html files in all directories without archiving everything else?

I can’t seem to find detailed documentation for the Archive Artifacts step that show more complex archival functions.

You should be able to `tar` the files you want, prior to the `store_artifacts` step.
