The quoted code is not needed. Calibre already does that by default.

First Question:
Is there the option to add one or more lines (like the signature of the article, when the signature is a gif and it is into a table (td) withouth tag) to the downloaded article?

Second Question:
some newspaper give the opportunity to read the entire newspaper in various format (a jpg for every page, or a single pdf file for every page) directly in the browser. Is there the possibility to download these files? i
Now i use the first jpg (pdf) for the cover image, so i am able to find the correct page and the correct date, but it is only initial page, and with a fixed resolution.
At least this is a good option to obtain an overall image of all the newspaper, though it is not give a comfortable reading.

It's in many of the included recipes, such as slashdot, latimes and motherjones, which is why I used it. However, I suspect the real problem was I needed to set "use_embedded_content" to false.

def get_article_url(self, article):
link = article.get('links')

if link:
return link[0]['href']

Now i am able to find the correct link; but i have another problem:
i don't find the title, so the article show correctly but in the initial page (with all the article) any title.....
Code:

Is there a solution? Is there the possibility to extract the title directly from the downloaded article?

The feed appear almost identical to other feeds that work correctly.

When I want to control the titles on that page, I use parse_index. Try reading up on it and see if it will solve your problem. Basically, you use it to give Calibre the title and URL you want to use.

I'm not 100% certain what you are asking. Preprocess_html or postprocess_html will let you add anything you want. You can add tags to the html with any content, including images. On your question about the table, are you asking how to put things into a table, or how to extract it from a table? Generally, both are possible with BeautifulSoup.

Are you asking how to split up pdfs to get images found on pages 2 and beyond, or how to use content you already have access to?

Yes... i must learn more about these two function.

I want to download the entirely newspaper into the epub file.
If it is not readable, it is a good opportunity to have a generic look about the newspaper, and if it is readable...

When I try a recipe with that feed calibre crashes in parsing xml. There is already simmilar problem with times online recipe. It appears to be some kind of bug.

In this feed
Code:
http://www.lastampa.it/redazione/cmssezioni/politica/rss_politica.xml
the title tag is null; so now i find the original link, but i don't find the title of the article.

I'll try to use the parse_index statement.

Here's a standard usage. It may look complicated, but it's not that bad. A description is here.

Code:
    def parse_index(self):
            feeds = []
            for title, url in [('National', 'http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/headlines.cfm?c_id=1'),
                               ('World', 'http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/headlines.cfm?c_id=2'),
                               ('Politics', 'http://www.nzherald.co.nz/politics/news/headlines.cfm?c_id=280'),
                               ('Crime', 'http://www.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/headlines.cfm?c_id=30'),
                               ('Environment', 'http://www.nzherald.co.nz/environment/news/headlines.cfm?c_id=39'),
                              ]:
               articles = self.nz_parse_section(url)
               if articles:
                   feeds.append((title, articles))
            return feeds
        
    def nz_parse_section(self, url):
            soup = self.index_to_soup(url)
            div = soup.find(attrs={'class': 'col-300 categoryList'})
            date = div.find(attrs={'class': 'link-list-heading'})

            current_articles = []
            for tag in date.findAllNext(attrs = {'class': ['linkList', 'link-list-heading']}):
                if tag.get('class') == 'link-list-heading': 
                    break
                for li in tag.findAll('li'):
                    a = li.find('a', href = True)
                    if a is None:
                        continue
                    title = self.tag_to_string(a)
                    url = a.get('href', False)
                    if not url or not title:
                        continue
                    if url.startswith('/'):
                         url = 'http://www.nzherald.co.nz'+url
                    self.log('\t\tFound article:', title)
                    self.log('\t\t\t', url)
                    current_articles.append({'title': title, 'url': url, 'description':'', 'date':''})

            return current_articles
Basically, you use the parse_index method when you want to control the title, description and/or date on that page, and already know the URL. A common use is when you can't parse an RSS feed automatically, and have to parse a web page to get the URL. However, I've never actually used it for that. Instead, I use it when I can figure out the URL in advance, because it's simple and there is no page or RSS feed. (I believe I used it for several comics recipes to pull the previous comics). Those recipes should be in this thread somewhere under my name.

I have less trouble understanding you than many native English speakers. I'm jealous that your English is so much better than my second language. I'm sure all the Italian speakers appreciate your efforts to build recipes for Italian web-sites. Keep up the good work!
