How to specify languages in postprocess_html?

Danfengxinlan · 09-13-2015, 07:12 AM

Hi, I was trying to create a recipe with feeds in multiple languages. I am not familiar with programming and I did not find much help in the calibre manual regarding this. Can anyone advice me on this? I am particularly puzzled as to how calibre handles the lang attributes in the original html. Are they simply ignored? The source code of the feeds includes the lang attribute such as 'ja' or 'fr' but they all disappeared in the created file.

Then can you give me some pointers on how to pass the lang information to soup? When I check the individual HTMLs generated by the recipe, I see only

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

.
The lang attribute is not there. Thanks!
