JavaScript Reading & focus

Reader mode builder

Replaces the whole page with just the article in a narrow elegant column on a warm background — your own reader mode.

Code to copy

(function () {
  var article = document.querySelector('article, .post, .entry-content, main');
  if (!article) {
    alert('No article element found on this page.');
    return;
  }
  var html = article.innerHTML;
  document.body.innerHTML =
    '<div id="jz-reader"></div>';
  var box = document.getElementById('jz-reader');
  box.innerHTML = html;
  box.style.cssText = 'max-width:70ch;margin:48px auto;padding:0 20px;' +
    'font:18px/1.75 Georgia,serif;color:#2b2b2b;';
  document.documentElement.style.background = '#faf8f3';
  document.body.style.background = '#faf8f3';
})();
