web2lrf

[slav]

the problem is that they are being converted, so they produce unknown tags like:

<ThatsMyXMLTag>  text inside my tag  </ThatsMyXMLTag>

produces in output temp html:

<ThatsMyXMLTag>   text inside my tag  </ThatsMyXMLTag>

and then web2lrf tries to convert that to lrf and nothing is displayed (at least that's what I think)

I saw in demo.html file that you put this into <code> tags, that's why I was trying this regex...

thanks!

Unknown tags in an HTML file are ignored, i.e. html2lrf treats <unknown>some text</unknown> as some text. So I don't think that is the problem. Are the &lt; entities in the HTML or the RSS feed itself?

[slav]

in RSS feed itself see this feed for example:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/netslave

Add or remove the www sub domain post contains lots of source code
all sections like:

<httpModules>
  <add type="WwwSubDomainModule" name="WwwSubDomainModule" />
</httpModules>

are not in output LRF file.

even the

/// <summary> 
/// Handles the BeginRequest event of the context control. 
/// </summary> 
/// <param name="sender">The source of the event.</param>

in output LRF appears as:

/// Handles the BeginRequest event of the context control.

note that it happens even if I dont have preprocess_regexps defined at all.

[kovidgoyal]

preprocess_regexps only acts n the downloaded HTML files. not on the RSS file iteslf. If you want to change the handling on the <description> tag in the RSS file do two things

set

html_description = True

If you still dont like the handling, override the process_html method in your sub class.

[slav]

I'm not concerned about description, my only problem is that some lines are missing from output LRF file, but as you say I'll try to override process_html and see how it goes.

Thanks!

[kovidgoyal]

The contents of the LRF file are taken from the <description> tag, so you should be concerned about it

Hi Kovid,

is it possible to use web2lrf with a full feed? For example, all Feedburner feeds have <content:encoded>-tags containing the whole article. Therefore, it is unnecessary to look for a print version of the article and preprocess the HTML.

How can I get web2lrf to use the <content:encoded> instead of the article's URL?

I tried to set the "html_description" property to true and reimplement the parse_feed function to use the <content:encoded>-tag instead of <description>. This worked, but it's complicated and it's impossible to look over the articles quickly because there is no table of contents with links to the full article.

Support for content-embedded feeds is on my TODO list. It's now added in svn, will be in the next release.

Any ideas when you'll be ready with this new release - I'd love to put my hands on new web2lrf

btw. I've seen new version of DefaultProfile in svn - is there a way to force existing version of web2lrf to use it?

[kovidgoyal]

Not easily. The new release should be out soon.

[slav]

thanks, I'll probably wait then

[kovidgoyal]

Released v0.4.34 with a GUI for adding custom profiles and support for content embedded profiles via the class FullContentProfile
