You probably made a mistake copying it over. Try again. It works for me. Most likely you lost a space in an indent.

You're welcome. It's an easy mistake to make, and I've made it myself. The recipe writer can post a zip file, which can be directly imported into the recipe system. That avoids problems like this, but at the expense of making it hard to look at the recipe in this thread. I prefer being able to look at it, even if copying errors sometimes occur.

recipe for morphzone forum ready for submission.

I dont think a recipe that dowloands a forum belongs with the builtin recipes.

I wondered about that when I read this request. It's certainly not the type of recipe I'd use (although I note that there is a Slashdot recipe). Tony - why don't you start a thread specifically for recipes that don't make it into the builtins. Forums and online books that don't change strike me as two that fit that category. If we get enough candidates, maybe it will be worth making it a sticky.

The more reading material for an ebook the better.
So i think they should be collected somewhere if its not to be included with calibre.

I definitely think there's a place for these "odd" recipes, but I agree with Kovid it's not in Calibre's builtins. Putting it in the builtins adds to the download time for tens of thousands of users. I'll start a thread, and let's see if it gets used.
