I want to use Yahoo pipes to extract part of a webpage and convert it to RSS. The problem is Pipes says the page is too long which is frustrating, because seemingly I can't do anything about it.

Is there a way to solve this problem within Pipes?

If not, the only way I can think of is finding a web service similar to Pipes which can extract a part of a page and use its output as an input for Pipes. Do you know such a service?

A: 

On this page from Google you can shrink webpages for browsing with mobile phones: http://www.google.com/gwt/n

It reduces the size of the page a lot, so maybe it helps you.

Great thought, but unfortunately the Pipes "Fetch Page" module doesn't allow you to get pages that are disallowed by robots.txt, and the results of the gwt tool are marked no-index.
