I was hoping someone here could massage these RSS feeds into an aesthetically pleasing manner for me, so the transition is easier on him.

Top Stories - http://rss.cbc.ca/lineup/topstories.xml

National - http://rss.cbc.ca/lineup/canada.xml

Winnipeg 7 day Forecast - http://text.www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/...ty/mb-38_e.xml

Everything except weather shows up fine, but has a bunch of unnecessary text(Like there is no need for a page index, or the header to click back to the index page... Than their's the calibre footer. I'm guessing that isnt removable though, since kovidgoyal deserves credit for putting out a free application) I also notice a lot of redundancy. Stories that show up in Top Stories re-appear in national. If there was a way to have calibre ignore duplicate stories if its already been added to the file in a previous section, that would be pretty nifty.

Also, is there a way to easily change the default cover image automatically when it creates the file? Id like to have a bit centered CBC logo, since thats where all the news is sourced.

Thanks. I know this is asking a lot, and its made even worse since i'm a new here and have not contributed anything myself.

If you don't mind giving my humble recipe a shot, attached is the zip file of the recipe.

Winnipeg weather is not from the same website so I guess it's not allowed to mix sources.

If you can point to me a large enough picture for the cover page, maybe I can help.
