dwhutton 0 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The Web Clipper 'simplified article' format does a great job of extracting the essentials of a web page without unnecessary clutter. However, it should NOT in my opinion remove the <blockquote> tag. Here's why. The left-margin indent created by this tag marks the beginning and end of text from a specific source. Removing this indent will often destroy the meaning of the article by making it impossible to figure out who said what. Here is a typical example: http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/gary-johnson-offers-measured-support-nsa-whistleblower-gary-johnson Read this piece without the indents and it becomes impossible to tell for sure where one person's remarks end and another begins!
