Directives

Microdata plugin provides two directives:

• itemscope, a block directive allowing to declare an itemscope block:

  .. itemscope:: <Schema type>
      :tag: element type (default: div)
      :itemprop: optionnal itemprop attribute
      :compact: optionnal
  
      Nested content

• itemprop, an inline directive/role allowing to annotate some text with an itemprop attribute.

  :itemprop:`Displayed text <itemprop name>`
  :itemprop:`Displayed text <itemprop name:http://some.url/>`

Example

This reStructuredText document:

.. itemscope: Person
    :tag: p

    My name is :itemprop:`Bob Smith <name>`
    but people call me :itemprop:`Smithy <nickanme>`.
    Here is my home page:
    :itemprop:`www.exemple.com <url:http://www.example.com>`
    I live in Albuquerque, NM and work as an :itemprop:`engineer <title>`
    at :itemprop:`ACME Corp <affiliation>`.

will result in:

<p itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Person">
    My name is <span itemprop="name">Bob Smith</span>
    but people call me <span itemprop="nickname">Smithy</span>.
    Here is my home page:
    <a href="http://www.example.com" itemprop="url">www.example.com</a>
    I live in Albuquerque, NM and work as an <span itemprop="title">engineer</span>
    at <span itemprop="affiliation">ACME Corp</span>.
</p>

This reStructuredText document using nested itemscope:

.. itemscope:: Person

    My name is :itemprop:`John Doe <name>`

    .. itemscope:: Address
        :tag: p
        :itemprop: address

        I live in :itemprop:`Albuquerque <name>`

will result in:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Person">
<p>
My name is <span itemprop="name">John Doe</span>
</p>
<p itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Address">
I live in <span itemprop="name">Albuquerque</span>'
</p>
</div>

This reStructuredText document using nested and compact itemscope:

.. itemscope:: Person
    :tag: p
    :compact:

    My name is :itemprop:`John Doe <name>`

    .. itemscope:: Address
        :tag: span
        :itemprop: address

        I live in :itemprop:`Albuquerque <name>`
