Hi Folks,

I'm customizing a few recipes for news sites I download, which I'll be reading on a Kobo Touch. The problem I have with Calibre's default templates for news feeds is that the navigation links (next/previous sections, etc) are too small and more often than not result in going forward or backwards a page. Very annoying. There's also a few other CSS styles things I'd like to customize.
I have the CSS styles that I want, and which work a lot better, but I can't find where Calibre keeps its templates. I'm working mostly on a Windows 7 machine with Calibre, and have been searching the C:\Program Files\Calibre for the files but no joy.
I've tried using the extra_css option in the recipe but that appears to be ignored. For that matter, the author and publisher field is also ignored.
Anybody able to point me to where those darn templates are stored? Driving me nuts...
Cheers! Olger.
