I have updated the LWN recipe again:
https://raw.github.com/wcooley/calib..._weekly.recipe There was some breakage due to a regex that was too loose and changes in the content of the site; I ended up rewriting the parse_index stuff quite a bit in the process. Last edited by wcooley; 10-19-2012 at 04:22 PM. |

hi folks,
I've thought that quotes & quotes blocks in article could be italic, so that they're a bit easier to read. Quotes and block quotes are widely used in LWN articles and distinguished from other text by quotation marks and color. Grayscale displays of ebook devices can't highlight them with color, so change text style to italic for better reading experience. Attached patch extends CSS in this way. Feel free to use it. Thanks! |

Thanks sakib! Would you mind giving me a pull request in Github: https://github.com/wcooley/calibre_recipes? I'll try to take a look at your zip when I'm at a real computer (on phone now).

one more patch to sync book title w/ issue title
Title of weekly editions include release date in heading. Book title currently appended with book creation date, but they're not always the same, which could complicate search if someone has big bunch of magazine issues in her library. It's should be easier to follow news if titles on site and in library are the same. Feel free to use it. Thanks! |

Here's couple of patches that possibly can improve reading experience.
First one to outline several important articles' parts: 0001-recipes-lwn_weekly-outline-quize-box-authors.patch.zip Code:
Fill authors names in articles headers with bg color to separate them from article body. The same for quiz boxes, plus outline them with border line, as they're put directly within article's text. Before/After Second one to make in-article tables work: 0002-recipes-lwn_weekly-improve-table-handling.patch.zip Code:
Site uses table layout a lot, both for page formatting and within article's text, yet we clean up all tags before & after article text, and remove what's left from tables in-between, also removing useful tables often embedded within articles. The better way seems to keep only parts we actually interested about: PageHeadline (article's title) and ArticleText and not linearize table within ArticleText tag, thus preserving useful tables. Before/After Patches can be generally useful and may be worth considering to cherry-pick them, as well as patch from previous post (#21) |
