Recepies that don't pull from RSS feeds

rpspringuel · 08-09-2014, 11:11 AM

I'd like to create a recipe for a website that doesn't have an RSS feed but does have a "Latest" index page (specifically http://m2.vatican.va/content/frances...es/latest.html).

Just pretending that page is a feed and adding it to a recipe doesn't work (the download just appears to be the html for the navigation bar (which is hidden off to the left on the webpage). I've looked around, but can't find anything on using something other than an RSS feed for a recipe. Is this even possible?
