HTML in BeBook

spaze · 08-13-2009, 07:04 AM

How extensive HTML code can be created in order for BeBook to read it without problems? Is it just HTML or can it handle XHTML?

Since I am planning on using my BeBook (when I get one) also for reading news on my way to work, I was disappointed today that none of Finnish news papers provide full-content feeds, just the titles.

Ofcourse I tried Calibre, but the news articles just looked horrible even after custom modifications to each feed parsing.

So I decided to create my own parser which you can have a look here:

If you think this HTML code provided behind those links then I am really happy guy

I prefer to have all the latest news in a row like this instead of different links and "documents".

Have you looked at Calibre and its "recipes"?
It can site-scrape what you need and roll it up into a BeBook readable format of your choice.

Yes I have, but writing a custom recipe involves more coding than what I have done with this example as well as getting familiar with yet another language. I'm multi-lingual, but the amount of languages I can soak in at one time is already exceeding my limits
