Hi Kovid.

I tried the div above, and it's parent and both together. no good.

Also I thought that the use of the * as in
auto_cleanup_keep = '//*[@class="important"]'

meant all elements would be saved regardless of the tag it's attached to.

ALso, is

preprocess_regexps = [
(re.compile(r'Advertisement >>', re.IGNORECASE | re.DOTALL), lambda match: '')]

not deleting instances of "Advertisement >>" because auto clean up overides it?

Can you do auto clean up followed by manual for any stray elements that get through.

+++++++++++++++++

BTW the whole reason Ive gone down this path is I discovered the text/paragraph after the first image in an article is being displayed to the right of the image (in the original Daily Mirror recipe).On my prs300 it's getting "displayed" off screen. I can't find a method to insert a crlf after the image/ before the image caption.
