That is something you get with the time.



Setting use_embedded_content to False does this.

Code:
use_embedded_content  = False


Yes it would.

What you need to read is actually documentation of the BasicNewsRecipe and see for yourself the actual code which is in general well comented.

The rest you can deduce from the multitude of existing recipes. You should start with more simple one's. The New York times is one of the more complex and it is not recommended for the beginners.

kiklop74,

Thanks for responding (you and Kovid). Firefox is the browser I use most times. I use Opera for some browsing. I don't think I have the firebug plugin installed so will get that.

When you state "Yes it would.", do you mean that the one line:

Code:
use_embedded_content  = False
will do the trick in the Ars Technica recipe or do you mean that something extra would have to be added with that line of code.

As I posted up above in response to Kovid's remarks about the print option, using just the

Code:
use_embedded_content  = False
line made no difference in the Ars Technica recipe.

I will, for sure, look over the documentation for the BasicNewsRecipe and print out a number of the recipes for comparison.
