Page content

Get page content HTML optimized for mobile consumption.

Gets the content HTML optimized for mobile consumption for the given page. This content is derived from Parsoid HTML (see /page/html/{title} endpoint). The difference to Parsoid HTML is roughly:

  • Some elements and attributes not needed for the reading case are removed.
  • LeadIntroductionTransform: The introductory paragraph is moved before an infobox.
  • RedLinks: Red links are flattened (=turned into span elements).
  • WidenImage: images that should be displayed in gallery are widened.
  • Section headings are slightly changed by wrapping the headings inside a div and adding a span element inside the new div for the edit buttons.
  • Additional classes are added to img elements to fix issues with non-white backgrounds. See Theme support below for instructions on how to enable that.
  • Pagelib CSS files needed to display the content are referenced.
  • LazyLoadTransform: server-side portion/prep for lazy loading of images.
  • CollapseTable: server-side portion/prep for collapsing tables.

What's not included? What parts of the PageLibrary does a client still have to do?

  • Theme support: Themes can be turned on by adding a theme class to the root <html> tag. Possible class names are:

    • pagelib_theme_default
    • pagelib_theme_dark
    • pagelib_theme_black
    • pagelib_theme_sepia

    The pagelib JS has functionality to do that: ThemeTransform.setTheme(document, theme).

  • Dim images: DimImagesTransform.dim(window, enable)

  • PlatformTransform.classify(window) to trigger Android and iOS app specific CSS rules

  • LazyLoadTransformer: client side companion of LazyLoadTransform (note the extra er here)

  • FooterTransformer: seems to be more UI than content, requires I18N, too

Stability: experimental
