How a page is qualified for reading mode in Microsoft Edge?

When one navigates a website in Edge, it will be nice to see ‘reading view’ button is enabled. Like to have some understanding on how a page is qualified for reading mode. This will help developers to have reading mode in mind when they develop the website.

I am not sure what he means by "not the root page of a site." But I found out that if I go to http://sitename.com no reading page view appears. But if I go to http://sitename.com/index.htm the reading page view does appear. Of if I go to http://sitename.com and click on a nav item, then return to the home page, then the reading view will appear.

The answer is from a Microsoft Edge PM. Reading view is automatically enabled when:

  • There is no pre tag
  • There is enough content
  • The page is not the top root page of a site
