[jgmac1106] [jackjamieson] it is bad practice because you add properties to the HTML to style your website and not to classes in the HTML containing metadata...plus then designers go and unwillingly delete the microformats since they get trained to remove any unused CSS classes not styling anything
#
GWG We had that issue in discussion, which is why someone wanted to fall back on properties

[mrkrndvs] @GWG question about parsing sites, why do some sites parse only the URL or the categories and nothing else? Does this stem from the (poor) themes and is just one of those things? Or should I elaborate in a ticket?

#
[jgmac1106] @mrkndvs usually a problem with the source, meaning the markup of the site you are parsing is bad. If it is pulling in a category or a tag as the article title that person has a really rough them (WordPress)

#
[mrkrndvs] Dumb question Greg, what are the consequences for poor markup?
#
Zegnat The consequences will be that parsers can’t parse, haha. That will quickly run you into a discussion about which parsers you want to target as a site though.

GWG I am happy to look at examples and see if I could improve it, but some sites, as mentioned, have little to go on

GWG IP calls a script every time to dynamically generate the css for the color scheme

GWG Horrible for caching efforts
#
GWG So, do I add preset color schemes and disable the custom css if it is used, for example
#
Zegnat That doesn’t sound that bad for caching. Is it something the user sets once? Surely that can just be given a long cache header?
#
Zegnat Maybe rephrase: what exactly are you seeing an issue with?
