web2lrf

Building on my work with web2disk, here's web2lrf (part of libprs500 v0.3.70).

It directly converts websites into LRF files. More than that it has support for profiles that allow it to preprocess websites to generate better looking LRF files. Right now it knows about the New York Times, The BBC, The Economist and Newsweek (see attached demos).

To use it with a profile:
Code:
web2lrf profilename
For e.g. for newsweek
Code:
web2lrf newsweek
For The New York Times
Code:
web2lrf --username myusername --password mypassword nytimes
To create your own profile and use it with web2lrf visit
https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/wiki/UserProfiles for instructions and examples.

To use it with an arbitrary website (it wont do any preprocessing)
Code:
web2lrf --url http://mywebsite.com default
Enjoy!

Released v0.3.62 with a newsweek profile. See the attached demo in the first post. Since I actually read Newsweek, I've taken a little more pain over this profile, it has a nice hierarchical TOC.

Ironic since for some reason I haven't been getting my newsweeks for the past month ;-)

I quickly uninstalled the prior version and installed the new one. Tried it.

"TypeError: option_parser takes() takes no arguments (1 given)"

Even the nytimes demo gave the same result.

Kovidgoyal, thanks a lot for all your work.
NYTimes and BBC work fine for me, Newsweek gives an error message.
I'm looking forward for more profiles :-)

You my friend, are a god. I just ordered my PRS-500 (not here yet but I can't wait), and was preemptively searching for ways to do this-- realize I'm jumping the gun here, but thanks so much.

Also great to see it offered for Linux

It was developed for linux, windows and OSX support came later. Indeed it would not have been possible without all the other great free software that's been developed for linux.

Kovidgoyal, Newsweek now works for Windows, but the output is a rss type small file. Articles are not pulled.

I have few basic questions, sorry couldn't find in many pages of stickies.
How can I make the font smaller? Do I need to load more (or different) fonts to the reader or it's a setting somewhere for web2lrf?

Where can I find the profiles for NYTimes (or BBC or Newsweek)? I'd like to use it as a good template for other sites.

Thanks in advance,
David (not a power user)

You can see the profiles here https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/bro...web?order=name

The newsweek error will be fixed in the next release.

Fair enough. Well, what can I say? I finally got my machine/the time to play with it and it's fantastic. The only issue I had was installing convertlit from source-- it needs, according to the README "LIBTOMMATH" to compile but the address listed in the README is incorrect and instead one needs to get LibTom from http://libtom.org/.

Nonetheless, once that was done I tried out the NYTime script and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much for the hard work.

You only need convertlit if you plan on converting lit files. The rest of libprs500 will work just fine without it.
