New Yorker articles formatted in italics

Push to Kindle
1

I love Push to Kindle and use it every day. Weirdly, all articles I send from the New Yorker arrive completely in italics. Is there some way I can prevent this? Thanks!

Hi @RomanCastevet, welcome in the Forums.

Could you please provide a link to an example article or even the domain? preferably one, that is not behind a paywall, if they paywall their articles.

Hi Holger,

As far as I know, all New Yorker content is paywalled. I noticed tonight that the Push To Kindle preview in Safari is also in italics. Here’s tonight’s article URL

My workaround has been to copy the text from the Push To Kindle preview, paste it into BBEdit and send that text document. Not convenient but it works.

Thanks

Hm, I thought it is about a string replacement, done in the config for this domain. It has renamed the starting <header> node into an <em> node, but without closing that new node. The <em> is causing the italic font style.

So I removed that replacement, but over an hour after (possible cache issue) there are still <em> nodes within every <p>aragraph. To be exact, there are two <em> nodes within every <p>:

<p>
  <em>
    <em>
      The content pargraph's text ...
    </em>
  </em>
</p>

@fivefilters can you help here, please? Maybe P2K does not get it’s config files from the github repo anymore. As you wrote, you wanted to change the config files (in future).

And yes, I also tried with random query strings, append to the URL.

Ahhhh, now it’s fixed. And you should also now have more images in the excerpt.

@RomanCastevet please try again

Yes! It’s fixed. Thank you so much. My old person eyes are very grateful

Thanks again!
