The Guardian recipe issues

[csaavedra]

I usually read The Guardian in my Kindle fetched via Calibre. There are a few issues with the recipe, that otherwise works great.

1. The article date is poorly formatted. It currently shows like this:

"Fri 7 Nov 2025 15.13 CETFirst published on Fri 7 Nov 2025 13.29 CET"

2. There is a newsletter promotion text that appears in most articles, interrupting the flow of the text. Its contents are:

3. Some articles show a listing of The Guardian's website sections. For example, I fetched a week's worth of news. In the "climate crisis & environment" section, there is an article titled "‘If there’s a free alternative, I’ll eat healthily’: how Sweden devised brilliant school meals". Its online URL is https://www.theguardian.com/environm...t-school-meals . This article in the calibre generated file has the following in the first few pages:

etc etc, it goes on listing all sections of The Guardian and it takes about 2 1/2 pages.

Thank you for Calibre and maintaining the recipes!
