TonyDeWonderful · 03-11-2011, 01:02 PM

This is my first time posting and I'm fairly new to writing recipes. I'm having a problem with a recipe that I'm using to download an rss feed to my Kindle3.

The recipe itself works fine except that the article titles sometimes contain and tags (for example, the article title on the Kindle and Calibre v. 0.7.48 will show "Godzilla vs. Real Life"). This was also occurring in the main title once you opened the article but I was able to remove that via "preprocess_html".

Since the "preprocess_html" did not affect the article title, can someone provide me some direction as to how to remove the and tags from the article title?

I've included the recipe that I'm using below.

Thanks!

recipe:

Code:

import re
from calibre.web.feeds.recipes import BasicNewsRecipe

class AdvancedUserRecipe1288623850(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title = u'Hit and Run Blog'
    oldest_article = 1 
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    timefmt = ''
    encoding= 'cp1252'
    preprocess_regexps = [
                                  (re.compile(r"&lt;em&gt;"),lambda match: ''),
                                  (re.compile(r"&lt;/em&gt;"),lambda match: '')
                                  ]
    feeds = [(u'Hit and Run Blog',
'http://feeds.feedburner.com/reason/HitandRun')]
