Article Interop WG: How to represent titles?

Should title be inserted into Article.content as an <h1> tag, or should it go to Article.name?

@silverpill that's interesting because I'd say no, but html pages frequently duplicate title and h1.

That makes sense to me. The is metadata, and often includes context that isn't necessary in the article body.

@tedu @article_interop There might be popular services where name is ignored completely but <h1> in content gracefully degrades. If that's the case, <h1> (or <h1> plus name) would be preferable.

AFAIK Mastodon doesn't have this problem and will display Article.name. I don't know about the others.

Found the answer here: https://funfedi.dev/support_tables/generated/object_types/

Sharkey seems to be ignoring the name, I guess this means Misskey does that as well.

@silverpill @article_interop article.name would be ideal, though I think lemmy expects title

@django @silverpill @article_interop Lemmy uses 'name' on a Page (not Article).

If you get the URL of any Lemmy post and do a GET with the Accept header set to "application/activity+json" you'll see everything.
