HTML conversion

jrrmcalcio · 08-04-2021, 09:24 PM

Hello, i'm trying to convert a website to epub to read in my Kindle (https://docs.nestjs.com). The problem is when i'm trying to convert the html files I downloaded, it still have the menus, headers and footers in each page, so I tried to use the search and replace feature in calibre, but still it's difficult to get rid of some content when they are nested divs (can not math the closing tag) so my question is: Is there any way to select only the ".content" css selector as the content of my output?

Thank you very much....

You can do that using the calibre recipe system, https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news.html

but not for a direct html conversion.
