[Michael_Beckwith] cambridgeport90 just fyi i use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-uf2/ , with a few tweaks, with a non-mf2-specific theme. definitely not perfect, but it is doable
#
cambridgeport90[
Yea. Good to know. Trial and error then.
#
cambridgeport90[
Has anyone thought of a IndieWeb specific fork of WP that supports MF2 by default? Someone mentioned a lack of automation.
#
cambridgeport90[
What was actually meant by that?
#
GWG
cambridgeport90[: Forks are a difficult beast
#
GWG
But what do you mean by default?
#
GWG
Baking it into commands that generate html is possible, but theming..

I mean, why does it require special coding to include support. Why can't they just be built in? asking for a friend who's a PHP developer.
#
GWG
cambridgeport90[: Because of the design of WordPress that puts the HTML classes hard coded into the theme
#
GWG
When I pushed against that, I got pushback
#
cambridgeport90[
Isn't that a potential issue though? Would having anything hard coded cause problems down the line?
#
GWG
cambridgeport90[: Yes, but how would you support existing themes?
#
GWG
You could do it going forward
#
GWG
But some think this sort of thing is a theme issue
#
cambridgeport90[
forgot about the ticket. That ought to answer my friend's question. Looked familiar.

I am hooing more themes support it in future that don't already. But some could work under the if it ain't broke, don't fix it mentality.
#
cambridgeport90[
I suspect ...
#
GWG
You inspired me to add to that
#
GWG
I asked for tools to make wp-uf2 work better

This is good information, I'll certainly say that.

coming back to the earlier discussions on language, I’ve now added lang= declarations to the ‘main’ sections of language specific category pages, and to individual postings where I use the category to determine if a language declaration needs to be added to the ‘main’ section of that posting. (I use a category for the two languages other than English, and English is set as the default in the html tag.

GWG: is wp_parse_url the right function to use to get rid of mailto:? php -r """var_dump(parse_url('mailto:foo@bar.com', PHP_URL_PATH));""" looks promising
#
cambridgeport90[
Will have to see what you come up with.
