Q: Viewing Offline web pages in Reader mode

I want to save articles to read offline ( in Web Archive format )  and then view them in reader mode.

However every time I do this, any pictures in the article vanish. How do I stop this?

 

Many thanks in advance....

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), iTunes 12.4.1.6

    Hello !

    To add a webpage to your Reading List, tap  the Share icon then tap Add to Reading List. Safari will save the link and the webpage so you can read it, even when you're offline.

    To view your Reading List, tap  bookmarks icon and then tap Reading List icon. To delete an item from your Reading List, swipe left across the item, then tap Delete.

    Thanks !

    Thanks I appreciate your response and will use those steps.

     

    I can get the articles for offline reading, but ideally I would like to read those  articles from the Reading list in Reader View. Every time I do this the pictures in the article vanish.

     

    Sorry I typed 'Reader Mode',  I meant 'Reader View'.

    Hello !

                 If you click on horizontal lines ( reader button ) in the search field . This button appears only if the webpage has an article that reader can show .

     

    To , stop using reader click the button again or press esc .

    I think this is caused by the pictures being remotely loaded content. If you aren't connected to the Internet, the pictures can't download.
