Support reader mode

07 Jan 2020

Modern web browsers have a reader mode that makes articles easier to read by hiding ads and other visual distractions, and by using a more legible font instead of the tiny gray font that seems to be the trend.

To activate reader mode, your content requires only two items:

1. Clear page structure and hierarchy: place the content in a single container such as <article>, <main>, or <div>.
2. Several paragraphs: even though my blog follows item 1), shorter blog posts—including this one—don’t trigger reader mode on MacOS Safari.
