post format

posts are markdown (.md) or html (.html) fragments with html “front matter” for metadata. the front matter includes…

<link rel="archived" href>

link to the original post, for imported posts.

<link rel="references" href>

one for each post being replied to, including the posts that those posts are replying to (these are not resolved recursively).

<meta name="title" content>

title or “headline” of the post.

<meta name="published" content>

date the post was published, as a rfc 3339 timestamp.

<link rel="author" href name>

author of the post. the name here is used in atom output, while the other author metadata is used in html output.

<meta name="author_display_name" content>

name of the author, used in html output.

<meta name="author_display_handle" content>

handle of the author, used in html output. this is @projectName for chosts (autost cohost2autost), or a domain name like example.com for other imported posts (autost import). we recommend setting this to a domain name like example.com, but it can be anything really.

<meta name="tags" content>

one for each tag associated with the post.

<meta name="is_transparent_share">

if present, hide the post content area entirely. this is used by autost cohost2autost to make cohost’s “transparent shares” look nicer.
