Canwest Global Recipes Updates

databoy2k · 02-03-2012, 08:51 AM

A quick post for the benefit of Nick Redding (sorry, have no idea how to get a hold of you personally), or anybody who is using Canwest Global newspapers through his built-in recipes:

I found that defining the encoding system as UTF-8 gets rid of the usual problems (i.e. the wrong formatting for punctuation). Ended up changing the header to read:
language = 'en_CA'
__author__ = 'Nick Redding'
no_stylesheets = True
timefmt = ' [%b %d]'
encoding = 'utf-8'
extra_css = '''

Could this update be incorporated into one of the updates to Calibre? Thanks!

Which recipe is this, exactly? As in what's its title? No title has canwest in it

There's a collection of these papers using a common recipe. I'll update them in time for next week's build.

Thanks Nickredding.
@Kovidgoyal - It's for several Canadian newspapers (I use it for the Edmonton Journal).

Keep up the great work both of you!
