I have spending time thinking of ways you could automatically create ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown

Most people will probably write in plain UTF-8 text, or Markdown, or HTML

How to do you take that and get it onto the Fediverse and Social Web‽

This isn't just a question of how to technically do it — but also a question of user-experience (UX)

I.e., what are "good" ways of doing it‽

What are "good" ways of automatically creating ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown‽

I think the answer depends on who, for example, is writing HTML, and how they are writing it.

For example, is this a typical user? Is this a power-user? Do they know HTML? And if they do know HTML, how well do they know it? Etc?

I will show you what I mean —
