oldest article limit
I was trying to fetch a blog into a mobi for kindle. the blog is kind of old, i.e. the articles
are more than 2 years or even older. In this case, calibre fails to fetch them. I've tried to make the oldest_article varible very large in the advanced mode, but it seems that the limit could not exeed like 365 days in the basic mode. Any help? |

rss feeds usually only contain the most recent articles, there is no point in trying to use rss to download historical articles. Open the rss feed inn an rss feed reader or a browser and see how many articles are actually available.

Write a custom recipe with parse_index that parses the blogs html index page to get a list of articles.

One more question, what can I do if there were more than one index.html that I want to put them together, index_to_soup seems to take only one string as a parameter. |

You mean
Code:
soup = index_to_soup(index_one) # process soup soup = index_to_soup(index_two) # process soup Code:
soup = index_to_soup(index_one) soup = index_to_soup(index_two) # process soup |
