Epoch Times Feed still failing

jma1 · 08-11-2023, 08:44 AM

The recipe has been redirected to a new set of RSS urls. With that change, the mobi output includes only article headers (which correspond to recent articles on the web) but no article content. This is one example article.

All the article elements now appear, but out of order. The article text appears first followed by title, featured image, author byline. Moving the article body last in order would fix it. I tried changing order of classes in the keep tags but that has no effect on the output.

Also there is a 'Related Stories" box that should be deleted. Thanks.

Sorry, this did correct by only moving the classes('post-main') line to appear before the other classes line.

So the only items are if you could remove the first line on each article which is a link to a category page (Hawaii in this example), and the 'Related Stories' box. Both are just links not relevant to reading on a kindle. Thanks again.

Hi Kovid
I was able to remove the Related Stories box with a lucky guess. Also reduced the font size on the leading photo caption, but was not able to identify a tag to do likewise for captions on the other in-line photos.

Further, could not identify a tag to remove that first line linked text in each article. My changes attached.

That version captures everything except removing tag "shortcode aspect-square" did not eliminate the first line header in the article. Looks like its only effect was to eliminate the author small bio photo. Thanks.

I think the first line header should indicate what article they are about to read, like business, viewpoint, political, markets etc. I could’ve made that font size smaller but there’s no right attribute to identify it.

OK that is not a big distraction when I strip away the hyperlinks (I am forever inadvertently tapping links on the kindle which go nowhere).

Only gap I noticed versus the prior version is that several Opinion articles (example) had header but no content in this latest version (but appear ok in preceding version).

I like to reduce the photo caption font size to readily distinguish that from the body text. I use the 'Inspect (Q)' in browser to see the html but the code for many sites seems to be more obtuse that ever. Is there a better way to identify the classes of text section for use in recipe? Thanks.
