I think I can do it tomorrow, hopefully it won't slip my mind

How to make a site handler:

• Go to your favorite news site (for example: euronews.com)
• Go to a random article
• Go to the blank space inside of the actual article (Not the summary that's usually on top)
• Right click on that spot and go to inspect

In our example:

• Then, look at the div HTML element it selected for you, and try to go up to the Parent div element as long as when you select it, only the body of the article get mark. In our example, when I did the inspect step, I got this div element marked:

But, as I went up the tree like the last step said, I found this div:

You might think to go even upper like this:

But as you can see, the browser highlighted parts that aren't the body of the article itself. So...don't.

Now that we got the correct div, we'll fill the siteHandler template:

SiteHandler extends AbstractSiteHandler
{
    protected function getHostnames(): array
    {
        return [''];
    }

    protected function getSelector(): string
    {
        return '.> p'; 
    }
}

Like so:

 p';
    }
}

• Save that template as SiteHandler.php (in our example, EuronewsSiteHandler.php )
• Send PR to the Official AutoTldr repo with the file you just created.
• DONE

Edit it as you wish, or let me know if you need me to do so. No need for credit obviously, just helping improve this amazing tool is enough :)

EDIT: something wen't wrong with the markdown, fixing it right now.___``___
