Customise News Recipe

goaspy · 12-08-2010, 02:17 PM

Can I change the recipe to display the entire article title (without author) in the 'View Article List' mode? I like to use this mode to browse the news quickly.

Also, can I change it to display the 'View Article List' button instead of the 'View Section List' button?

I've attached some screen shots.

Cheers.

not as far as I know, both of those are controlled by the viewer, not by the file. the file only provides the data, the viewer chooses how to display/format it.

It must be the content somehow, I would play with it but I don't know how yet. I'm used with playing around with epub.

Is there a minimalistic recipe I can try? Title and article text only, no url, author, etc.

make your own from any rss feed, it wont include authors if the feed doesn't.

OK, thanks, I will keep trying. Too bad the Kindle Previewer doesn't display news like the device.
