Drop Cap Characters Missing when Parsed
- Platform: Mercury Reader
- Mercury Reader Version: 4.3.1.0
- Browser Version (if a browser bug): Chrome 81.0.4044.122 (macOS)
Expected Behavior
When loading Mercury Reader for an article, drop cap characters are included in the parsed page.
Current Behavior
When loading Mercury Reader for an article, characters rendered in drop cap are omitted.
Steps to Reproduce
- Load this Medium article in Chrome
- Note that in the opening paragraph the letter "T" is in drop cap and the sentence reads "The calls started early today"
- When using the Mercury Reader extension, the drop cap "T" is omitted.
Detailed Description
The HTML on the page is as follows for that portion: <p id="7a70" class="if is ap ce ih b eq ii it es ij iu ik il fd im in fe io ip ff iq ir dq" data-selectable-paragraph=""><span class="r iv iw ix iy iz ja jb jc jd da">T</span>he calls started early today...</p>. My hypothesis is that Reader View is omitting text within a <span> element at the start of a <p>.
