Request for recipes

[mccande]

This is a great program.

My early attempts at writing recipes in Python were not a great success.

Could anyone help with a recipe for the following publications

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/

and

http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/

Both have RSS feeds

Thanks

It is not that hard to write a recipe once you get a hold of it. You just need firefox + firebug extension + decent text editor and some patience.

Hello everyone. Could someone please create a recipe for the newsfeeds of allafrica.com, (explicit; Top News, Southern Africa, Guinea and South Africa)?
http://allafrica.com/tools/headlines/rss.html
The recipe should be able to fetch the print versions of the articles. I tried so much to get it on the last weeks, but I am a totally noob and have no idea about calibre or python.
It would be very nice, if someone else could do this for me.

Greetings,
Ronald
