[tantek] since frontmatter conventions are nearly completely inconsistent, is there an opportunity to perhaps specify a microformats-based vocabulary and (micro)syntax for frontmatter as a proposed standard for frontmatter?
#
aaronpk there's at least 1 precedent for that, since my frontmatter uses mf2 vocab :)
#
[tantek] ooh! add your example to https://indieweb.org/frontmatter#IndieWeb_Examples
#
aaronpk done
#
[tantek] ok that's actually very cool
#
[tantek] why is published: "2017-04-15T18:23:00-07:00" outside of properties? also presumably "type" is using mf2 root class names types
#
aaronpk I think because "published" is generated by the software and is a 100% required property that everything would break if not available
#
aaronpk i don't remember why type is there but I suspect it's similar that it is kind of core to everything
#
aaronpk if it's in the mf2 properties then it's more or less optional, that's where the logic of switching templates and deciding what to show comes in
#
[jacky] Interesting, I've stored mine in JSON
#
aaronpk JSON is way less hand editing friendly
#
[tantek] I store mine in HTML+mf2 lol
#
[tantek] (well the "frontmatter" at least, the actual notes content is "plain text" which gets sent through auto-linking/hashtagging/etc.)

[KevinMarks] There's some convergence of front matter in Hugo between themes, though they have 3 syntaxes for it

[aciccarello] Hugo seems heavy on convention

Soni the real trick is to use .d/

Zegnat Re: that article about <ol> from the other day ... whenever someone tells me HTML cannot do a thing I have to try and see if it is true. https://zegnat.neocities.org/ordered_list

[tantek] You may have to use :marker and explicit counter-* property list numbering to get it the same with all the ( ) properties etc
