Thanks, looks great now!

With this feed
http://www.ilgiornale.it/?RSS=S
i must use
<code>
def get_article_url(self, article):
return article.get('guid', article.get('id', None))
</>
because it is a feedsportal.
But there is a problem:
with this article (and some other like this...)
http://www.ilgiornale.it/interni/rom...e=0-comments=1
the print link is the same, it's necessary only to replace "articolo-id" with "articolostampa-id"


i think that is necessary to use the print link, because when the article is divided into multiple page, it is impossible to read all the page.

the get_article_url return a link like
http://www.ilgiornale.it/a.pic1?ID=438656
but i am not able to find the print link...

FYI, if you can't find a print link, you may need to handle multiple pages in the recipe. Many of the built-in recipes handle multiple pages. I believe the adventuregamers recipe has an example.

Multipage is fairly advanced. You want to keep it as simple as possible. The usual advice is to use the print version, where possible, but it's not always possible. Learning to handle multiple pages will give you great control over your recipes.

i am not able to find the print link; there is a print link in the html, but there isn't any tag near the print link, or i am not able to find it...

Yes, it is a powerful solution... but not simple.

Agreed. Once you understand BeautifulSoup and pre and post processing of html, you can do almost anything with a page. During the Olympics I used it to parse a Flash-based slideshow of photos. The Flash code on page 1 included a URL that pointed to XML data elsewhere on the web. BeautifulSoup let me extract the address for that data from the scripting on page 1. The XML data had pointers to photo images, with titles and comments for each photo for the Flash code to use. BeautifulSoup then let me extract the XML data and build a custom virtual page with each photo being labeled and having a comment. That custom page, despite not really existing anywhere, was passed to Calibre's recipe handler to build the EPUB.

Basically, BeautifulSoup will let you remove elements, swap or add elements, find elements, construct new pages, etc. IIRC, multipage recipes grab article text from subsequent pages and paste it into the first page before the first page gets processed by the recipe.

That page sends you to another page:

I see a print link on that page at:

calibre 0.6.13/ubuntu 9.10. When I download news, they come not as one file for one source, but about maybe 10 files of approximately same size and almost same content for every source feed I use.

Is there any way to receive just a single file for every source feed?

A Wikipedia-to-Kindle program exists - go to http://www.edukindle.com/downloads/kindlepedia/ - this site creates a very nicely formatted Kindle book from an entered Wikipedia URL.
