[aciccarello] Is there a page documenting finding the main entry on a page with multiple entries but not a feed?
#
[aciccarello] Is the first assumed to be the main?

#
[tantek] a page with multiple entries is treated as having an implied h-feed container for those entries

#
[aciccarello] In that case would it make sense to only parse metaformats if there are no other h-* elements on the page?
#
[tantek] Ooh that is a very good question
#
GWG I personally make that decision depending on what fidelity I get from the microformats.. take the messed up classic ones on many WordPress sites.

[jgarber] Do any of the existing parsers support the parsing logic outlined in https://microformats.org/wiki/h-feed#Implied_h-feed …?
#
[jgarber] (since the language there is written as “may”)

j​kingweb Personally I interpreted that as the business of an h-feed consumer rather than a generic parser. I was planning to implement that logic in my h-feed consumer.

#
[jgarber] jkingweb#0 Ah! Good point. That makes a lot more sense.
#
j​kingweb I think you could make an argument either way, but I think that since one of the design goals of microformats2 was getting rid of vocabulary-specific rules, the "imply the h-feed" camp would have an uphill battle to actually set it implemented widely.
