What my objective is, is to change this

Egypt’s housing market recovers!

it has the tag format of <div class="cdmainarticle">Egypt’s housing market recovers!</div>
So based on what I have gathered from other recipes and from you my code "should reformat it", but it doesn't.

Spoiler:

from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe

class GlobalProperty(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title = 'Global Property Guide'
    language = 'en'
    __author__ = 'TonytheBookworm'
    description = 'This is a site for residential property investors who want to buy houses or apartments in other countries'
    publisher = 'GlobalPropertyGuide.com'
    category = 'prices,real-estate'
    oldest_article = 10
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    no_stylesheets = True
    extra_css = 'div.cdmainarticle{font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight:bold;font-size:large;}'
    
    keep_only_tags    = [
                         dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['cd_mainbody']})
                        ]
    remove_tags = [
                   dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style']}),
                   
                  ]                    
    feeds          = [
                      ('Main Feed', 'http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/rss'),
                      
                    ]

1) It has class="cd_mainarticle", not class="cdmainarticle",
2) It has inline style on your header. Strip that first:

    def preprocess_html(self, soup):
        for item in soup.findAll(attrs={'style':True}):
            del item['style']
        return soup

Try this one:

    extra_css = '''
                 .cd_mainarticle{font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color:red; font-weight:bold;font-size:large;}
                 '''    
    keep_only_tags    = [
                         dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['cd_mainbody']})
                        ]
    remove_tags = [
                   dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style']}),
                   
                  ]                    
    feeds          = [
                      ('Main Feed', 'http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/rss'),
                      
                    ]
    def preprocess_html(self, soup):
        for item in soup.findAll(attrs={'style':True}):
            del item['style']
        return soup

Edit: (I made the header red to spot the change easily.)
