Yes, I am playing along with you - with some success.

I mentioned earlier that I was irritated by the junk that gets downloaded at the end of every article. This includes all the usual "email to a friend" stuff, plus links to all the other articles in that day's paper, and a lot more.

I studied the page of the user manual that you gave a link for, and realised I could get rid of the junk. I've now managed to do that, although it was by trial and error rather than a deep understanding of how the recipes work.

But I've ended up with a simple download containing just the articles without the junk, each starting on a new page - and only the sections of the paper I'm interested in.

So thanks for poining out what's possible. I'm encouraged to go further with this process.
