NY Times author information

[danhotchkiss]

When Calibre delivers the New York Times to my Kindle, it omits the information about the writer that appears at the bottom of each contributed op-ed article. For instance, the article that appears online at http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/19/op...an-change.html contains the following when I view the source:

<footer class="story-footer story-content">
<div class="story-meta">
<div class="story-notes">
<p>Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir is the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.</p>
</div>
</div><!-- close story-meta -->
</footer>

This is pretty important information! What change do I need to make to the NYTimes recipe to make it include this in the Kindle version?

Thanks much,
Dan

There will likely be a remove_tags rule that is matching that block, Look for footer int he recipe.

Thanks, Kovid. Under remove_tags, I see lines containing articleFooter, story-footer-links, page-footer, footer promos clearfix, footer links clearfix, footer, and page-footer.

I plan to comment these out one by one and see what happens. Please let me know if I've misunderstood!

No luck. I've commented out the following lines Under "remove_tags = [" in my NYTimes recipe:

#'articleFooter',
#'rfd', 'story-footer-links', 'page-footer',
#'metaFootnote',
#'post-tools',
#'footer promos clearfix',
#'footer links clearfix',
#'footer',
#'page-footer',

And still the author bio does not appear. For example, in the article at http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/23/op...t-hackers.html, the following text shows in the source, but does not appear on the Kindle:

<div class="story-meta">
<div class="story-notes">
<p><a href="https://inmoscowsshadows.wordpress.com/about/">Mark Galeotti</a> is a professor at the New York University School of Professional Studies’ Center for Global Affairs.</p>
</div>

I'm stumped! Any other ideas how I might get this important information to show?

Thanks,
Dan
