If you are wondering what RDFa is —

You might be more familiar with OpenGraph.

ogp.me/

OpenGraph is usually the thing that causes "preview cards" to be showed for links shared on social-media.

OpenGraph is written in RDFa. Which, in practice, is some special HTML elements added to the page.

For example:

<meta property="og:image" content="example.com/img/preview.png" />

So what about ActivityPub‽ —

The Open Graph logo

Open Graph protocol

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph.

REMEMBER: this is for power-users, not regular users

How would you get ActivityPub / ActivityStreams into HTML using RDFa‽

Like this:

<div vocab="w3.org/ns/activitystreams#" typeof="Note">
<p property="name">Hello!</p>
<p>How do you do?</p>
</div>

AGAIN, REMEMBER: this is for power-users, not regular users.

Regular users can just write Markdown or HTML and Retejo will figure this out automatically for you
