Zegnat This one came up in #microformats yesterday, mostly the same problem, the plugin wasn’t doing exactly what was expected so it was turned off. Again the author expresses that they weren’t sure what the plugin was doing exactly: http://devilgate.org/blog/2017/07/20/3565/

[colinwalker] Just replied to him on micro.blog:
# [colinwalker] "It's used to identify key sections within the content for better parsing like 'h-card' for author and 'h-entry' for post." <- overly simple but better than nothing.
# [colinwalker] I agree with the comments: it says "what" it does (try to insert microformats2 markup) but not why or what that enables.

[pfefferle] the problem with the microformats plugin is always, that we can not guarantee that it will work, because it heavily depends on the theme… that’s also a reason why we cannot auto activate the plugin…
# [pfefferle] but sure, the texts/descriptions should be optimized…
# [pfefferle] merge requests welcome ?
# [colinwalker] I'll have a think.

# [pfefferle] but still, there is currently no check if the plugin works or if it produces strange HTML output…
# [pfefferle] and I have no idea how to handle it or if it is possible
