User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
Build ID: 20180703192103

Steps to reproduce:

With a click at the icon in the url bar you can switch from the original website to the simplified Reader Mode.


Actual results:

Sadly the Reader Mode (Firefox 61.0, Ubuntu Linux) strips the lang attribute of the html tag. So <html lang="de-de"> becomes <html>. Isn’t there a possibility to keep this attribute also in Reader Mode?


Expected results:

If the lang attribute was kept it would be possible to add hyphenation via userContent.css (my goal).

Thanks Gerhard, this seems like a pretty reasonable request, imo.
Priority: -- → P3
This'll need some changes to the actual readability library as well as the integration code in Firefox.

Note that we should probably add the attribute to the container of the readable content, not to the root, because although the content might be language X, the UI we add (the sidebar) may have a different language (e.g. when reading a German article in an English Firefox, or vice versa).
