Hello,

I want to get a smaller version of the Economist with more compressed, low quality images.

Starting from:
- the original recipe: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...onomist.recipe

- And the Calibre documentation: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news_recipe.html

I tried to change the following parameters in the recipe (line 195 and following):
self.web2disk_options.compress_news_images = True
self.web2disk_options.compress_news_images_auto_si ze = 2
self.web2disk_options.compress_news_images_max_siz e = 5

...But I don't get a smaller Epub as a result (still ~25 Mo) ?
Could anyone please help ? Thanks !
