Some Questions about Reader View
-
On this BBC page the headline is large and bold, and the first paragraph below the image is bold. The link at the bottom of the page works normally.
On my own website the heading is large and bold, but none of the subheadings or other text are bold. None of the links work.
Is it possible for reader view to show bold and italic text with formatting, and why don't the hyperlinks (to anchors) work?

The thing about the different fonts is true, everything in Bold uniformly. but Hyperlinks work perfectly in Reader View, at least for me

That's because you use
span
elements for subheadings. They're not meant for that purpose, hence the reader view does not consider them as subheadings. Try usingh1
toh6
tags instead.@pesala said in Some Questions about Reader View:

Your hyperlinks are referring to anchors within the document. The reader view seems to strip all elements from their
id
property. Try using thename
property instead. -

I tried that, but found that reader view stripped all of the headings, perhaps because they each have inline images that I use for navigation to anchors.

@Pesala would you please share some screenshots and share your screen resolution cause it is another parameter for us to look into. Lastly have you reported it already? If so what's the VB-number please? If not, please do so and let us know about the VB-number.

@gaelle I have just updated my webpage using H1, H2, H3 tags for the headings.
Check it out in reader view. The Top Level Headings with H1 Tags disappear entirely, H2 headings are fine. -

IMO you use too many headings. For example, the
h1
tag is used twice, I suppose that is the reason why the reader view gets rid of one of them. The subheadings seem to work fine now...Also, you should probably avoid putting anything into the heading containers. Maybe it's just semantics, but for some reason, the reader view removes some of those elements...

A possibly related case.
Visiting here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8458104
The
<h2>
tag for Section II is missing from reader view. It jumps straight from the end of the paragraph about "Paper Organisation" to the paragraph about the background, but without the header, I have no indication that's what happened, which makes it rather confusing.
