chrisaldrich I've seen a few people using the 2019 theme for IndieWeb related purposes, but haven't heard about any issues (yet).

billbennettnz The author information breaks. Hang on, I'll activate and get a more exact description of how it breaks.
# billbennettnz It's the h-card element. Shows up on a page as:
# billbennettnz <span class='p-author h-card'>Bill Bennett</span>
# billbennettnz Which looks to me like it can be fixed with a touch of CSS.
# billbennettnz Perhaps.
# 
gRegorLove Generally it's recommended not to apply styles on the microformat class names, though many WP themes don't follow that rule.
# gRegorLove If possible, it might be better to remove any styling on that p-author h-card and add an HTML class to style (or use existing HTML classes on parent elements)
# billbennettnz The text is inside a <a> </a> and acts as a link, which looks right to me. I don't understand why it is appearing as HTML code, it looks well formed to me.
# billbennettnz I'm no coder, but shouldn't that be double quotes around (p-author h-card) where it shows as single quotes?

# billbennettnz @chrisaldrich was thinking mf2 would give me an h-card box on each page. Is there a better way of doing this?
# 
[jgmac1106] @billbennettnz the best way is to use an IndieWeb theme.
# [jgmac1106] If you want to try a different approach I recommend you search your old theme for older microformats such as hentry...
# [jgmac1106] Delete those and then install and activate microformats plugin
# billbennettnz I was using a indieweb theme, a hacked version of SemPress but was getting some odd errors that looked theme related. They've gone now ;) but I think going back to an indieweb theme is a better way to achieve what I want.
# [jgmac1106] Have you seen [pfefferle] newest theme? Getting good reviews
# [jgmac1106] What is autonomie?
# 
Loqi Autonomie is a highly semantic, responsive, accessible and search engine optimized WordPress Theme https://indieweb.org/Autonomie
# billbennettnz Yes, this looks ideal, was on SemPress, this looks like it is Son of Sempress... only smarter.

# billbennettnz Ran into a minor problem with installing an Autonomic child theme, there's something here that doesn't like the standard child theme recipe, I think it's to do with a folder containing other .css files which complicates child theme enqueing, this stuff is near the limit of my .php understanding, I'm moderately code savvy, so it's safe to assume if it's hard for me, 75% plus of the population will struggle.
# billbennettnz Otherwise, Autonomie is close to perfect...
# billbennettnz Am I right thinking the microformats plug-in is unnecessary with Autonomie?

# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "some good practices/workflows to work with markdown in micropub posts to WordPress" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "some good practices/workflows to work with markdown in micropub posts to WordPress is ____", a sentence describing the term)

doubleloop [frank] - good question, I'm interested in your findings.
# doubleloop At the moment, for short notes, I use tantek's markdont formatting, and use the Auto-hyperlink URLs plugin (recommended by kimberleyhirsch)
# doubleloop So even though it doesn't actually get markdown-rendered, it still looks pretty decent.
# doubleloop Probably the main thing I miss is decent code formatting - but for short notes I'm never really including that much code.
# doubleloop For longer articles, I tend to not use micropub anyway - I write it in my editor locally in markdown, then export to html and add that directly in the WP interface.
# 
jeremycherfas !tell doubleloop Doesn’t your WP theme support <pre> tags for code? I thought most did.
[jgmac1106], [grantcodes], [tantek] and tylergaw joined the channel
# doubleloop jeremycherfas: it does, yep. What I meant was: if I use markdont for short notes via micropub, I don't get any code formatting / syntax highlighting (because I'm not marking it up in a way that WordPress understands as a code block.)
[jgmac1106] and gRegorLove joined the channel
# jeremycherfas Oh, I see. One thing I like about Markdown is that you can just insert html in it. I don’t find it nearly as difficult to read as some people do. But then, I remember Wordstar and WordPerfect.
# jeremycherfas I think I tried a couple of plugins once and got very confused about which rendered before storage and which rendered on the fly and just gave it up.
