From sgbotsford at gmail.com Tue Nov 24 11:39:02 2015 From: sgbotsford at gmail.com (Sherwood Botsford) Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 09:39:02 -0700 Subject: Markdown, Rich Text Snippets for web Message-ID: Was browsing google webmaster tools, and reading up on rich text snippets. (RTS) These are a raft of additional span tags that supposedly make the web easier for search engines to parse. I'm still mulling over their worth. Or rather: If I have to insert all this additional markup by hand, then it's not worth it at all. If on the other hand, I can find a post processor that slaps an "article" schema tag around the page, defines the first occurrence of an H1 tag as being a Title. It occurs to me that some clever use of CSS could be used to implement RTS as either an inprocess or post process script. E.g. CSS class names that map to schema tag names would be automatically wrapped. Anyone done this, or know of other tools to take the pain out of RTS Respectfully, Sherwood of Sherwood's Forests Sherwood Botsford Sherwood's Forests -- http://Sherwoods-Forests.com 780-848-2548 50042 Range Rd 31 Warburg, Alberta T0C 2T0 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
