    feeds          = [(u'Latest Headlines', u'http://www.postcrescent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/misc?URL=/templates/RSSlatest.pbs&mime=xml'), (u'Local News', u'http://www.postcrescent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/misc?URL=/templates/RSSlocal.pbs&mime=xml'), (u'Sports', u'http://www.postcrescent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/misc?URL=/templates/RSSsports.pbs&mime=xml')]

The problem is, in the head section of their pages they have a malformed comment that looks like this:

<!--- OAS MACRO --->

My Sony Reader won't display the resulting output due to this malformed comment. I've tested it by manually removing it from the generated epub file and it works flawlessly.

Can anyone help with a brief bit of code that I can add to my recipe to remove this stubborn comment?

Thanks

This will be removed automatically in the next release of calibre. Incidentally there's nothing wrong with the code, its a bug in Adobe DE that causes it to fail to handle it.
