Having a little bit of trouble configuring FimFicFare and am hoping someone may be able to help. I'd like to setup custom columns, or some way to store the Author's URL and Story URL and have that URL be clickable and open up in a web browser.

I have tried setting the custom columns in Calibre to be 'text, column shown in the tag browser', and 'comma separated text, like tags' which has Calibre searching for those URLs in its database rather than being web links. Setting 'long text, like comments' just has FimFicFare save the URL as plain text, even when having it set to HTML parsing.

I'm also having some trouble with epub images. I have a few stories that have images with transparency inside their chapters and have set remove_transparency: false in personal.ini like the github wiki suggests to keep the transparency... but it doesn't seem to work. Only no_image_processing:true works to keep the images transparent but I worry that will cause issues down the line. Is there another setting or code line I'm missing?

I seem to have found a parsing bug too. With this story: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/358...ian-fanfiction there's colored text in block quotes. FanFicFare/Calibre can download the story fine, but doesn't write the <span style="color:#[color];"> tag in a way that properly colors the text.

It writes it as (in example of the first paragraph of the first chapter):
<blockquote><p class="double"><span style="color:#6aaadd;"></span></p>
[rest of blockquote text]
</blockquote>

rather than:
<span style="color:#6aaadd;"><blockquote><p class="double">
[rest of blockquote text]
</p></blockquote></span>

I'm not sure if the <p class=double> is necessary to keep or not
