Can remove_tags search for div/style value?

Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/infosecResources
Sample article: http://resources.infosecinstitute.co...c+Resources%29

I want to remove the "Want to learn more??" boxes from the article. Here's the relevant part of the HTML source code:

<div style="margin:20px 0 25px 0;padding-left:25px;padding-right:25px;background-color:#CEECF5;font-size: medium; border:1px solid">
<strong>Want to learn more?? </strong> The InfoSec [...]

and here's my recipe:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1384894173(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'test'
    oldest_article = 15
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    auto_cleanup = True

    feeds          = [(u'InfoSec Institute Resources', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/infosecResources')]
    remove_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'style':'margin:20px 0 25px 0;padding-left:25px;padding-right:25px;background-color:#CEECF5;font-size: medium; border:1px solid'})]

For some reason this does not work as expected; the "Want to learn more??" text is not removed. Am I doing something wrong?

Sure it can, see http://www.crummy.com/software/Beaut...mentation.html for details.

However, if you are trying to remove particular text, I suggest you search for that text and then remove its parent tag. You can do that by implementing preprocess_html in your recipe.
