What version were you using? jjangsangy actually made a change to this in version 1.12.0 that fixed the handling of "all".

Do you have a specific example? Kobo have in the past put different versions of the webpage for different countries, probably to do some A/B testing. I would suggest trying another country if it breaks.

The plugin doesn't strip any of the formatting and I have reasonably recently downloaded metadata with bolded text. Do you have a specific example of one where it is broken? If I were to hazard a wild guess, this could be related to which country you have picked.

More broadly, I don't really check this site and I somehow missed the email notifications. It would be better if any bug reports go on the github, or at the least, include specific examples of something that is broken.

Ok, I made a test with this book I purchased from Kobo italian site: https://www.kobo.com/it/it/ebook/all...gnor-weynfeldt

In January the "all" setting didn't work at all, so I switched it to "it" but the data "Publication date" and "ISBN" are not retrieved, even if they are present on the web page (bottom).

This morning, making tests for you, I switched back to "all" settings and magically started working again, retrieving also Publ. date and ISBN. Who knows what happened?

See images attached. Thanks!

Hmm we'll probably chalk that up to Kobo doing some testing with ui updates then. Hopefully they don't do that too many more times
