Missing embedded video, and included its subtitle, as well as missing dividers
Accepted by admin
Since original article includes a slideshow, then the slideshow should be supported.

If the embedded video cannot be supported directly, then it could instead be simplified into a link.

There is no dynamic content except countdown which hides after end and not affects page content at all. It's legit article with link to liveblog, IMO

Missing caption
admin
I didn't see it, but I believe this is an issue of Telegram Instant View's @simplify method.

I have set caption properly in this template:
<p><figure><img src="URL" /><figcaption>Sifteo cubes from the side, about half an inch high</figcaption></figure></p>

However, because it's inside <p>, after @simplify of the base template (that's applied at the very bottom of to all templates), the page transforms to:

<figure><img src="URL" /></figure>
<p>Sifteo cubes from the side, about half an inch high</p>

This is possible to avoid this behavior by a single line trick:
<div>: $body//figure/../self::p

I believe, most template authors don't know this behavior and they shouldn't, because it's just internal to Telegram IV rules.

Admin, if you have an access to the source of the template, you can check: @debug: $body//figure

This can be fixed on our side.
Template #24 Issue #2
Aug 17, 2017
there is what looks like javascript in the title - 'ars_ab.settitle(1148611);'
admin
I have problems reproducing this issue. Telegram, is it possible to somehow @debug the cached page that was used to generate this IV?

I have set-up a @IFTTT bot with ArsTechnica posts. It seems like this issue with script in title appears if it's been sent over Telegram in seconds or few moments after publication on the website.

If I try to:

- Open such page in Template editor (so I'd be able to see what's in @debug and fix issue)
- Add GET parameters to URL (so page will be reloaded on server)
- Just wait some minutes (until page would be reloaded automatically)

IV updates and the script from title disappears.

pagination doesn't work
admin
Telegram Team, there's a bug in IV.

All pages https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/android-8-0-oreo-thoroughly-reviewed/5/ get automatically redirected to
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/android-8-0-oreo-thoroughly-reviewed/

This is the reason why pagination doesn't work (but worked in past).

The preview is great. Except there are 2 pages; there's a link at the bottom to go to next page. I know this is probably a technical problem on telegram's side.
Solutions:
1. Telegram should add support for multiple pages
2. Find a one page version of the article
