Cheers for that, Rev. Bob.

One question for you regarding the modify changes, are you also going to modify the quality check PI to test for the kobo stuff / empty spans ?

None of that code is close to what I've changed; I don't think it's even getting to the new routines. My first instinct is that the OPF file may not be formatted properly, or perhaps the first file in the spine has a similar issue.
I haven't heard anything back on this, and I can't reproduce it on this end.

Meanwhile, I have been reminded to add one more type of "garbage" element to the cleanup list, and it comes in this form:

<?dp n="3" folio="" ?>

(Where N can be any number.)

This seems to be an artifact of some creation software that I haven't encountered directly, but it doesn't appear to serve any purpose in a finished ebook - so out it comes! It's not even as useful as an attribute-less SPAN element, which could at least theoretically be targeted by CSS. Therefore, the strip-spans module now removes anything of this form:

<\?dp([^>]*?)\?>\n?

(Or, for those who don't speak regex, "any single tag delimited by <?dp at one end and ?> at the other, containing anything except the > character in between, along with an optional linefeed at the end." )

The attached versions of the plugin include that fix, and I've updated the help file to remove the "experimental" notes and document the self-closing and empty-removal features. If there are no objections to this version, the only thing I see that's left to do is choose between the one-routine and two-routine options. As before, the file with the longest name is the two-routine version.

Feedback is encouraged, but please let me know which version of the code (one or two routines) you're using.

I'll give it a try (two routines), because I use the previous version quite a lot with no problem at all.

Going to give the 2 routine version a try.

I personally think that's the one to finalise, as some user may want to keep the kobo stuff, but strip the empty spans.

With regard to the '<\?dp([^>]*?)\?>\n?' - should you include the \n? - as there may be instances where that \n could be between two words, which in the html would then render as a space, so removing it would be wrong. Unless you can guarantee that it's removable in which case never mind.

So far as I can tell, from the limited experience I've had with that pseudo-element, it appears on its own line and should be removed as such. Naturally, if anyone else can shed some more light on this, I'm certainly willing to learn more.

Fair enough. Safe to include the newline then.

Never seen that element before, so can't illuminate you, I would have thought though that it would cause validity problems.

XML uses the <?foo?> syntax for processing instructions, but I don't know of any - besides the top-of-file XML declaration itself - that are legal in EPUB content.

Hi. I have tried to found the same plugin for Mobi format, but looks like it doesn't exist. Can you add support of mobi format to this plugin?

No, the internal structure of MOBI does not allow for editing.

calibre has a builtin tool called Polish Book, which has fewer extended options than this, but does support AZW3 (mobi8).

Hi, i've just realised, that plugin isn't updating Publisher field. Is it right? Or is it some settings i got wrong? I have ticked "Update metadata", but Publisher remains unchanged.

@brserek - Why do you think isn't updating the Publisher

Works for me - my test is Show Metadata in calibre book viewer ctrl/i

Can't think of any setting that would cause it not to work

Well, It looks like I put it a bit wrong. Changing publisher from aaa to bbb works, but, I usually just remove publisher information. It's usually inconsistent and in my opinion misleading. So, that is what I do: I erase this field from metadata, and then update epub with plugin. Publisher remains the same.

@brserek - You're right, if I clear a publisher Modify doesn't update, nor does Polish (as in make shiny) Book. Looks like a defect in the calibre core that's used by both Polish & Modify Books, you should report a fault here ==>> https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre

Same with tags -- I had a plugboard to clear them since I only use them for library functions like tracking error/edit status, original source, etc.

Didn't work until I recently switched to filtering and allowing "anthology" and other such new tags through.

I don't think calibre updates fields to empty, since that could mean wiping data accidentally -- although some people control their db metadata well enough that it would be intentional.
