Request - Add site "www.siye.co.uk" to available sites.

What is the possibility that the site "Sink Into Your Eyes" (at
http://www.siye.co.uk/siye/) could get added to the list of parse-able
sites. Using a story URL pulls up either the story (in the case of
single chapter one-shots) or a table of contents (in the case of multi-
chapter-ed stories). It also appear that the story contents are
contained within a set of <table></table> HTML tags.

http://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=127268 (complete story
or multi-chapter table of contents)
http://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=127268&chapter=1
(chapter of multi-chapter)

In case HTML format is what you're looking for, all chapters of a
story on SIYE can be downloaded as a single HTML file by using the
"Print Story" link.

http://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?action=printable&textsize=0&sid=127268&chapter=all

Hope this helps,
Cordelia

I have been using the "print chapter/story" feature of the site in
conjunction with the site http://www.2epub.com/ to create epub files
(which in my opinion read better on my ebook reader of choice that html
files). Given the seemingly consistent structure of the stories
themselves and the URLs I thought that it could be possible to cut the
middle man, as it were, and have this utility parse the story directly.

www.siye.co.uk, while certainly not the worst we've tried to support, is
also not easiest. Parsing out the metadata and chapter text relies on a
lot of assumptions and heuristics.

Still, I've implemented it. Give a try on the web server first and make
sure it works for you.

I'll release new CLI and plugin zips and switch the default web version
after we've confirmed it works for more than just me.

Majid,

That story was a formatted a little different, so it needed a tweak to
handle it. Thanks for pointing that out.

(<p> tags inside <span> tags parse differently than <br/> inside <span>
in BeautifulSoup vs BeautifulStoneSoup.)

Anybody else using www.siye.co.uk downloads with success or failure?

Jim

I have downloaded a couple of stories from www.siye.co.uk and the only problem I have ran into I can attribute to the epub reader i am using on my tablet. I plan on going through my favorites shortly to get a broader selection to test with.

Just out of curiosty, would the "printable" versions of the story been easier to parse?

Great, let me know if you see any problems.

Not really. The sites that are easiest to parse have a <div
id='storybody'> or something like that. The printable page on SIYE is
pretty much the same once you get down to the chapter text.
