#
[aciccarello] [capjamesg] I'd recommend KevinMarks' suggestion of having parsing tests on your site. I added tests that parse to JF2 and it helped me quickly understand if I had screwed up my markup.
#
[aciccarello] Meanwhile I broke my rss feed and didn't notice till I checked posts in a feed reader weeks later...
#

#
[KevinMarks] Adding tests for your rss and your OGP is probably a good idea too

#
[Caleb_Hearth] what is jf2
#
j​kingweb https://microformats.org/wiki/jf2
#
j​kingweb A little verbose representation for microformat data.
#
j​kingweb Less verbose.
#
[KevinMarks] differently verbose, depending on if you have multiple values for a property…
#
[Caleb_Hearth] Thanks! Yeah I get the problems with structuring microformats in HTML but it still seems the best solution at this point.

capjamesg [KevinMarks] sknebel Do you know a real-world use case for https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/blame/main/mf2py/mf_helpers.py#L4?
#
sknebel ... isnt the possible use mentioned in the doc string a "real world use case"?
#
[KevinMarks] When you are looking for urls to webmention?
#
[KevinMarks] Oh hang on, no when you are trying to find a URL from a nested microformat like h-review where it might be inside another one?
#
[KevinMarks] Or if you have h-feed and want the entry urls

#
[capjamesg] I asked because we couldn’t find anyone using this function on GitHub.
#
[capjamesg] It is the only functions in the mf2py public API that is not the main parser.
