Site-Scooping?

Robotech_Master · 07-08-2009, 07:32 AM

Say that there is a page I would like to site-scoop into an ePub book.

Let's say, this page

Furthermore, let's say that all I really want scooped are the lists of stories—the "Chronological Listing" panel of the table and the "Chakat Universe" list beneath that table. Assume these need to be scooped to a depth of two, because some of them are links to their own tables of contents.

Is there a way to do this using Calibre to convert it all to an e-book?

As near as I can tell, web2disk will simply copy the site onto my hard drive. I can do that already with wget.

It doesn't really answer my question about how to make Calibre convert selected portions of it to e-book format, either way.

Write a custom recipe. Extensively documented in several places.
