Thanks.

May I ask what the reasoning for setting both the 'author(s)' and 'publisher' metadata to 'calibre' is (when using ebook-convert to create an ebook from a recipe)? While I can see why calibre is being set as the author, I don't understand why it could be considered the publisher?

In news.py the class BasicNewsRecipe(Recipe) defines this:
Code:
#: Publication type
#: Set to newspaper, magazine or blog
publication_type = 'unknown'
Have you thought about adding some more categories, Eg. newsfeed, newsportal, academic and such like?

Finally am I setting 'smarten-punctuation' correctly below, I seem to be having some problems with it?
Code:
conversion_options = { 'smarten-punctuation' : True }
Thanks.

PS. (Being a noob) I've only just realized that you are the creator of calibre. Excellent, excellent, excellent piece of software - thanks so much for it.
