Make Articles Cleaner.
One of the most powerful features of Handy is the ability to clean up article content according to Your Own preference. The wonderful thing is that it refers not only to (predictable) in-article advertisements, but virtually to almost any repetitive parts which You might find unnecessary, e.g., About the author notes, social network “share” section, “Related stories”, etc. With Handy You should be able to make those parts automatically hidden, in most cases. To do so, You need to point out those unwanted elements first. Here how You can do that:
- For the sake of this tutorial, open this article in Handy: share its link from any other app and choose “Read now”.
- Once You see the article within Handy, locate an example of an unwanted repetitive part, let’s say it would be the ad:
Suppose this is the advertisement section.
- Now, You need to load the article text in the special way which allows You to see additional “tags”. “Tags” are parts which often go alongside with various article elements, and remain visible only under the hood. In Handy, however, You can temporarily throw an eye on such tags to use them as “pointers” for further indication what article elements should be hidden.
- So let’s begin with loading the article in this special mode: open the menu (three dots on the top right corner or just tap on the screen, if You use full-screen mode) and choose Edit Content View.
- You will notice that now many additional elements have showed up – those are “tags” mentioned above, each of them enclosed within square brackets. Now, locate the advertisement section which You’d like to be automatically hidden (in this case it is the sentence: “Suppose this is the advertisement section.”). Note the tag (called “affiliate”) which precedes it. Tap on that tag and choose “Hide”.
- Tap End editing floating button on the screen to exit Edit Content View. The advertisement block should be gone and not be seen within further articles of the parent content source (feed) :) .
