Hi folks,
I've been trying to convert a bunch of articles from online journal (namely LWN.net). Yet recipe only fetches current issue if you're member, or previous one if you're not. I couldn't find a way to provide a specific article URL to fetch & process in API documentation neither to ebook-convert utility nor to BasicNewsRecipe class (I wanted to convert some of old issues).

So question is: are there any ways to use news recipe for specific article or issue, which URL can be passed as parameters for ebook-convert or some other way for recipe methods?

Thank you!
