Instapaper Community text-parser configuration
- ryanwaggoner 16y agoI'm not as up-to-date as I need to be, but isn't the idea of truly semantic markup and RDF and microformats that Instapaper (and many, many other sites) won't have to have site-specific parsers? Now, I recognize that a) Instapaper can't do anything about that, and b) the vast, vast majority of sites are unlikely to change. So I guess the main question is: if you have really good semantic markup, do you need this, or will Instapaper already handle your stuff correctly?
- joeminkie 16y agoYou can always Instapaper your own site to check but, no, you most likely won't need it. There will always be edge cases and poorly coded/broken markup on many sites though. That's what this is for.
- Dirt_McGirt 16y agoYay, the instapaper future is full of ads.
- epochwolf 16y agoThey’ll go through admin approval before going live, to prevent abuse, and then they’ll improve the text parser for everyone.
- Dirt_McGirt 16y ago"If the instapaper_body class name is present, the automatic selection and automatic stripping processes are disabled, leaving full control to the site’s author."
- augustl 16y agoHe should add support for the <article> tag (if he hasn't already).
