OxADADA howdy
#
OxADADA quick Q: is http://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry and http://microformats.org/wiki/hentry the same format?
#
OxADADA they seem to be attempting to achieve the same goal, but looks like Readability is pushing the latter (re: https://www.readability.com/developers/guidelines#reader)
#
Zegnat OxADADA: h-entry is a microformats2 standard and thus supersedes hentry, see http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2
#
OxADADA thanks Zegnat
#
OxADADA i'm trying to determine which format i should use so Readability, Instapaper, Pocket (GetPocket.com), Firefox Reader view can most easily parse the content of a few sites. any idea?
#
Zegnat I am not sure what readers have and have not updated their parsers, so afraid not. You could of course implement both to support both old and new parsers.
#
OxADADA Zegnat: yup. none of those readers (except readability) document what their parsers support.
#
Zegnat I would then start by implementing h-entry. See if any readers pick up on it. You can always put the older hEntry on top of it if some readers are left behind
#
KartikPrabhu I would suggest hentry if you are not sure.
#
KartikPrabhu mf2 parsers have a backwards-compatibility built in to parse mf1
#
OxADADA Zegnat: KartikPrabhu thanks for the input, i'll try that approach :thumbsup:
#
OxADADA KartikPrabhu: thanks, re https://github.com/visual-assault/visual-assault.github.io/issues/19
#
KartikPrabhu OxADADA: it might not be a good idea to add both h-entry and hentry... some parsers get confused
#
KartikPrabhu here is a list of parsers that you could potentially test against: http://microformats.org/wiki/parsers
#
OxADADA KartikPrabhu: oh great, this is really useful. thanks
#
kylewm "some parsers get confused" -- that's only true if you add hentry and h-entry on different elements, e.g. h-entry inside of an hentry
#
kylewm if they are both on the same class it should be absolutely fine
#
kylewm same tag*
