Quint provides support for IndieWeb through the use of microformats2. The theme makes your content more accessible and better suited for search engines, social media platforms, and other applications that consume structured data.
Why Use Microformats2?
Microformats2 classes allow you to describe the content of your pages more effectively. For example, by marking up data that describes people, posts, or events, you can make this data available in a standardized format that can be interpreted by a variety of IndieWeb services. This enhances how your content is used and displayed across the web.
For a deeper dive into microformats2, you can explore the Microformats Wiki for extensive documentation and examples.
