Feature request: Microformats2 markup for events #9505

Closed jamietanna closed 4 years ago

jamietanna commented 4 years ago

Microformats2 is a standard that allows marking up HTML with machine-readable information, which allows better interoperability with various tools, as well as improving Search Engine Optimisation - https://www.seroundtable.com/google-support-microformats-28872.html (also https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/03/02/google-microformats-support/)

I would be happy to raise a PR with changes to the theme to support the h-event markup, so folks can automagically determine event information from the site.

I noticed that we had added schema.org data - which is awesome - and I think that supporting another metadata format should be OK.

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll need to hear from @mattstratton on the tradeoffs and his call for this. Appreciated.

Hm. I thought that we had some stuff in there to support rich cards in Google...maybe this isn't the same?

This is the code for Rich Cards (if I recall the right term from google)

That said, if you want to look into where we would add this, it would definitely be in that partial linked above. I'd be happy to take a look at a proposed change .

@mattstratton Looks like @jamietanna put this PR in, which is great! I glanced over it and it doesn't look like it's introducing new variables we'd need to document for event creators. I haven't done any testing, but if you/others want to follow up, I have no particular objection.

Oh yeah, I already approved the PR; I should just merge it now :)
