[prtksxna] noob question: what is the difference between `e-content` and `p-content`?
# 02:51 
aaronpk i can never remember where on the wiki this is documented
# 02:52 
aaronpk http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-prefixes
# 02:52 
Loqi microformats2 prefix conventions
# 02:52 
KartikPrabhu [prtksxna]: e-content will be parsed as if it were a an HTML markup whereas p-content is parsed a "plain-text"
# 02:52 
aaronpk that's arguably not the best explanation
# 02:53 
aaronpk (the link i mean)
# 02:53 
KartikPrabhu the best way to do this is to just test the markup in some parser
# 02:54 
[prtksxna] Ah, understood, thanks aaronpk and KartikPrabhu!
# 02:54 
aaronpk another summary: http://microformats.org/2014/03/05/getting-started-with-microformats2
# 02:54 
[prtksxna] KartikPrabhu: I’ve been using https://indiewebify.me/validate-h-entry/. Would you suggest something else? Maybe something where I can paste markup (instead of having to deploy on my site)
# 02:55 
aaronpk https://php.microformats.io/

[prtksxna] aaronpk: From that post, how can something be both `e-content` and `p-summary` when `p-*` is expecting plain text?
# 02:57 
aaronpk it just means the "summary" property will be plaintext, and the "content" property will contain the HTML markup
# 02:57 
KartikPrabhu p-* isn't expecting plain-text. p-* means "parse this as if it were plain text" so the output will be plain-text not the input
# 02:58 
[prtksxna] Ah, I see! 😄
# 02:58 
aaronpk https://php.microformats.io/?id=20190803025841217
# 02:59 
aaronpk also the parsers don't care about the property names, only the prefixes: https://php.microformats.io/?id=20190803025905978
# 02:59 
[prtksxna] So that is the parser’s job—to remove the HTML and get a plain text version?
# 02:59 
aaronpk yep

# 03:01 
aaronpk haha
# 03:04 
[prtksxna] I’ve been working on adding `add_theme_support('microformats2')` to my theme and this was really helpful. Thanks both of you 😄

KartikPrabhu [prtksxna]: if you want the gory details http://microformats.org/wiki/textcontent-parsing
# 03:16 
aaronpk (hint: you don't)
# 03:16 
[prtksxna] hehe
# 03:17 
KartikPrabhu I agree :P and I wrote that piece of the code for mf2py
# 03:18 
aaronpk i do not envy you one bit

Zegnat I do not even envy myself for having tried to write that parsing definition :P
# 08:49 
Zegnat !tell KartikPrabhu if you want to see the next step up from /textcontent-parsing: https://github.com/Zegnat/php-innertext
# 08:49 
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
