Recipe to output ToC as flattened ?

[iddetik]

I'm not sure how to say it properly, I have a recipe with hundreds of feeds. However these feeds only contains 2-8 articles and all these feeds are connected to each other.

The default way Calibre fetching these feeds will result in messy ToC in epub to be like this :

Title
|
|- Feeds1
| |
| |-Article 1
| |-Article 2
|
|-Feeds2
| |
| |-Article 3
| |-Article 4
...
|
|-Feeds487
| |
| |-Article 874
| |-Article 875
| |-Article 876

Is there any way for me to simplify the output so i don't have html named Feeds and just make a bulk of articles merged as one.

Like this i think :

Title
|-Article 1
|-Article 2
|-Article 3
...
|-Article 876

override parse_feeds() in your recipe. Call the base clas simplementation which will build th enormal list of articles, then manipulate the result as you like.

Sorry to bother you again, may i know any tools that can debug ebook-converter when running so i can see how the populated feed object looks like?

Right now i'm looking at https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/de/...pe.parse_feeds but i still struggling with how the hierarcy implemented.

You can use simple print statements and their output will be visible when you run ebook-convert

Simple print statements did the job! Albeit a little bit slow for me i finally could make it works as 1 big feed, then trim the feed page from ToC.

Thank you!
