I couldn't find a solution. Please help me.

You mentioned RSS. How did you convert the HTML- did you use a recipe or did you download the HTML to your disk, add it as a book and convert?

It might be worth opening up the ePub file (via the Calibre Tweak ePub feature) to look at the xhtml that made it into the epub file. It is possible that the text is there but something is affecting its display.

Or it's possible that <pre> is not valid in XHTML.

No, it should be valid- I've seen a few threads were it was suggested the user put code fragments in <pre>- tags, and it worked.

Use the inspect feature of the calibre viewer to see what the code in the epub file is.

Never noticed that Inspect option (or seen any mention of it)! Has it always been there? It looks as if it could be very useful.

Just do a search for inspect on the whats-new page and you will see when it was introduced. It's also mentioned in the whats new in 0.8 page.

@Manichean
I take this Tool:

Unfortunately I only have (and use) the german version of calibre, so I do not know the name in english.

@Kovidgoyal
I'd installed Version 0.8.1, but still does not work. When I have a look at the ebup-data the part with the <pre>-node will still ignored in the epub-file

Pity...

That is the "Download News" tool icon

What recipe are you using? It could be remotely possible that <pre>- tags are excluded.

matthias2011 · 05-19-2011, 10:54 AM

This:

Quote:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1305816964(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Ubuntu'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100

feeds = [(u'planetUbuntu', u'http://planet.ubuntuusers.de/feeds/full/25/')]

I don't change anything from the default content.

That icon you mentioned provides a list of news sources. The code that implements each of these is known as a recipe. I guess therefore the question is which news source are you using.

Manichean · 05-19-2011, 11:56 AM

And that recipe doesn't remove any tags. Did you have a look at the source code of the book to see if the missing text is there, but just isn't displayed?

matthias2011 · 05-20-2011, 04:57 AM

Here it is:

There is nothing like «sudo apt-get install...»
