Post recipes that need a home here!

[Starson17]

This thread is for recipes that don't fit into the Calibre builtin category. If you have a recipe that you've written for retrieving forum comments, or one that you've written for a an online book that doesn't change, or one that retrieves a static website, or just one that you think will only be run once by a user, feel free to post it here. I suggest that we try to keep this thread limited to one recipe per post, and keep comments about the recipes out of this thread.

If you want to comment, please start a separate thread for that recipe. It will make it easier for people to scroll through the posts in this thread and look at recipes.

Kindly post your recipe inside code tags (use the hash/pound/number symbol) and then surround that with the spoiler tag (the eye with an "X" through it.). If you want to make it easy for users to use your recipe, also post it as a zip file. That will make it easy to import into Calibre without any indentation errors.
