I am trying to create a custom feed of my local newspaper:

http://rss.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs....enq01&mime=xml

I can get the feed in epub and I can preview the feed in Calibre. Everything looks fine with the table of contents, etc and when I click on an article the text appears. I then transfer the feed to the PRS-505, and everything looks fine with the table of contents (the article title appears) but when I click on the article all that is shown is a blank page.

Any ideasas to what I am doing wrong? I just entered the feed in the url under custom feed, do I need to add something in advanced? Total Newbie here to Calibre.

Kovidgoyal suggested I add

html2epub_options = 'linearize_tables = True'

which I did and In the viewer in calibre, the text is not formatted correctly and it pulls in alot of the newspaper graphics, etc. I even tried pulling in the print version by adding

def print_version(self, url):
return url + '&template=printart'

but that looks even worse in the viewer and upon transfer to the PRS-505, I do not get any text outside of the table of contents and a page with the title of the article and a two line text of the article.

Thanks!
