The parseArticles hook is triggered when parsing news articles. It passes the
front end template, the current article and the news module instance as arguments
and does not expect a return value.
\Contao\FrontendTemplate $template
The front end template instance for the news article (e.g. news_full).
array $newsEntry
The current news item database result.
\Contao\Module $module
The module instance (e.g. \Contao\ModuleNewsList).
