brentl I’ve been working on adding exercise posts to my website and have arrived at a microformat structure that I think makes some sense. Any feedback? https://www.brentlineberry.com/posts/4045/exercise-microformats
#
[tantek] nice re-use of h-entry!
#
[tantek] this is great brainstorming and proof of concept brentl++

brentl thanks!
#
gRegor nice! I think we've been moving to standardize on e-content instead of e-description. There's progress on that for h-event at least: https://github.com/microformats/h-event/issues/3
#
gRegor So good choice on using e-content!
#
brentl what do you think about using e-comment for my own notes on the activity? seems like that's usually for response comments on a post, not a property of the post
#
[tantek] seems like your own notes would fit into e-content as well
#
gRegor agreed

#
brent at the moment, all of the exercise-specific stuff is inside e-content so it can parse as a note or article. I was trying to denote the exercise-specific properties inside of that as well: exercise type, start, duration, distance, and notes.
#
[tantek] I think the notes you just let them be directly inside the e-content, no need to distinguish them (unless you have a specific consuming code use-case in mind)

brentl ok. I just hate to lose some of the data structure. But I know of zero consuming use-cases.
#
[tantek] yep, many old/classic microformats were overdesigned (with hindsight) due to that exact impulse ("hate to lose some of the data structure")
#
brentl got it. cool. thanks!
