Nope. Tried that and it didn't work. I exploded the created epub files and the page-break-before/after: avoid style is added in-line with the text so that trumps all specified styles in the stylesheet. Is it just the "chapter" class that's special? If I change it to, say "foo", would Calibre then stop overriding the page breaks?

chapter class is considered special. Try renaming it to something else.

Changed "chapter" to "foo". Still the same page break behavior (or lack thereof). Only difference I could see was it stopped splitting on chapters. Oh well, I give up for the meantime. Might try some other tricks when I don't have a headache. The html2epub_options is probably worth another try. Thanks kovid and kiklop for the tips.

New recipe for wikinews in english

For the New York Times, I've noticed that the content for the Opinion category is now showing "Article not found." Can this be repaired?

If anyone was up for the task (consider that a request !) it would be great to see treehugger or ecogeek as a news source

Kovid said this was the place to post a request for subscription support for the New Scientist feed. Is this a possibility?

Thanks.

I notice there have been a few requests for the Daily Mail, so thought I'd share my recipe for it - oh the shame!

For overseas visitors, the Daily Mail is a popular tabloid paper in the UK. It has very conservative views, with a light sprinkly of paranoia and a side salad of zenophobia. It's the paper you read to find out what the man on the Clapham omnibus is thinking, but wouldn't want to be seen reading it by your peers.

The print version of the Daily Mail is a little image heavy so I'm only downloading the first 50 of each feed, and the past 2 days of articles. This still generates nearly 20MB ePub files though!

Hope it's of use to someone.

Rufus.

If you can give me access credentials I'll take care of that.

hi all thanks for the great recepie, is the Time magazine feed working ok at the
moment? it seems to get stuck at 100% for me, then retries after a few
minutes

kiklop74 · 03-13-2009, 06:25 AM

The time recipe was originaly submitted by me but Kovid added some modifications to optimize download. So I guess you should open a bug report in trac.

@Kovid
You should add member encoding (utf-8) to this recipe since aparently calibre incorrectly uses ascii codec.
As far as I can see there is some issue with calibre in this case. If I use command line tools recipe get's downloaded correctly.
