aaronpk GWG: what's going on with this HTML markup in lillian's author name? http://anomalily.net/indieweb-summit-2018-portland-oregon/
#
aaronpk I remember seeing that happen elsewhere a while ago
#
sknebel mf2 plugin in a theme that html-escapes the author name
#
aaronpk what's the solution?
#
sknebel use a theme that supports mf2, turn of the plugin
#
sknebel (or turn off the author-markup-hook, I think there's switches for individual parts of it?)
#
aaronpk ugh, what a mess
#
sknebel (and use rel=author or manually added h-card to get the authorship in the posts)
#
aaronpk seeing this kind of thing happening so often in wordpress really makes me question whether microformats really is the best way to make this work

#
[jgmac1106] Yes IndieWeb WordPress is a bespoke solution based on so many different variables. Each instance needs a slightly different approach and that does not include any plugins that may end up styling something it shouldn't
#
aaronpk I know microformats was meant to solve the "side-file" problem, but in this case a side-file would work a lot better
#
[jgmac1106] [aaronpk] I may go back to Known for my IndieWeb and WordPress just as a portfolio for long form writing
#
[jgmac1106] [miklb] has some really cool ideas about building new mf2 framework
#
aaronpk I would like to see that work
#
sknebel I mean, for author information one could use hidden markup
#
sknebel and since this happens quite a bit that might be an interesting tweak for the microformats plugin
#
sknebel although I think GWG was considering getting rid of it entirely
#
[jgmac1106] Yes currently the hcard as a widget is built in the IndieWeb plugin and if using IndieWeb theme you do not install mf2 plugin
#
[jgmac1106] Even with widget it seems 50/50 whether a user decides to put in a header

#
GWG It's really hard to find a solution for everything
#
aaronpk yeah, wordpress has a lot of moving parts
#
GWG It's more lots of plugins and themes
