Trim space around CDATA elements before extracting the CharData.
This problem was discovered when reading https://www.sethvargo.com/feed.xml.
Title and Summary fields have newlines and space between the <title>
element and the CDATA element. e.g.
<title>
<![CDATA[Entry title here]]>
</title>
This meant the title of the feed was coming into MiniFlux as,
<![CDATA[Entry title here]]>
Some articles (especially the recent year-in-review ones) include a Youtube
video. The server-side rendered articles do not include the Youtube iframe,
but they do have a script that looks like
<script type="text/javascript" data-reactid="6">
window.__APOLLO_STATE__ = {
...
youtube_id: "9uASADiYe_8",
We add a reformatting function that tries to detect obvious JavaScript code
that has a field or variable called youtube_id that has an 11-character
double-quoted value, and adds the referenced Youtube videos in the beginning of
the article. This is slightly more general than needed for Quanta, in the hope
that it could be useful for similar sites.
This is a somewhat complex React site so the rules could be a little fragile.
Text content seems to be always inside .outer--content, and most h6 elements
are fluff like "read later" or pointers to other articles. However, h6.byline
and h6.post__title__kicker are relevant to the current article.
Figure captions are sometimes inside both figure and div.outer--content
elements, sometimes only inside figure, so take both and remove the
intersection.
The figure elements sometimes contain multiple copies of images or
videos, and we just take them all. Math articles seem to use Mathjax,
which we don't add.
The 1.1 version (https://jsonfeed.org/version/1.1) for JSON feeds defines that feeds should have a MIME type of `application/feed+json` which Miniflux wasn't searching for
ATCOM netvolution WCM, probably alongside others, a CMS powering several
high profile and high traffic Greek news sites, among other sites,
publishes the RSS feed under /rss/. Add it to the list. It's generic
enough to allow us to assume other software might do it to
On a select set of 627 Greek news media sites (the infamous Petsas list),
adding this rule increased discoverability of RSS feeds by a factor of
2.61% (from 498 to 511).
The Washington Post has its feeds with EST, which is getting parsed by miniflux as UTC, and showing up as 8 hours off.
See http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/politics for an example.
This fix applies a similar workaround for EST/EDT as was done for PST/PDT.
