US Patent 11960525 Automatically formatting content items for presentation

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for automatically formatting content items for presentation. For example, in response to receiving an invocation of a presentation mode for a content item, a computing device can generate a tree structure representing the structure of the content item. The computing device can generate a presentation version of the content item based on a presentation template that defines the presentation formatting for the content item. The computing device can traverse the tree and determine a portion of the presentation version of the content item to present based on the amount of content that can fit within a display size of a display device. In some implementations, the computing device can determine portions of content to suppress and/or highlight based on various characteristics, metadata, comments, links, etc., corresponding to the portions of content in the content item.
