Tantek's URL advertises webmention endpoint:

Interesting. The code spots that you're using microformats, so tries to extract the microformat h-entry, but there's no link in the content of the entry: http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgregorlove.com%2F2019%2F06%2Fjealous%2F

I could attempt a non-microformat parse, but I wonder if that's the right thing to do.

Do you have any thoughts on what's right here?

A common pattern for reply posts is displaying the reply context with an in-reply-to property. The reply context usually appears outside the e-content since it is not part of the author's content. This can either be just the URL that is being replied to, or a nested h-cite if you're quoting / showing the author that is being replied to.

I realized my example is a bit odd and I should probably tweak my microformats. I should use u-in-reply-to instead of p-in-reply-to. That would make the value of the embedded h-cite the URL. That makes it easier to consume without drilling down into the h-cite's properties.

These are the two main patterns that you might consider handling for replies:

u-in-reply-to

<div class="h-entry">
In reply to <a href="https://example.com/post" class="u-in-reply-to">https://example.com/post</a>:
<div class="e-content">Lorem ipsum</div>
</div>

Parsed as (truncated to just the items):

"items": [
    {
        "type": [
            "h-entry"
        ],
        "properties": {
            "in-reply-to": [
                "https://example.com/post"
            ],
            "content": [
                {
                    "html": "Lorem ipsum",
                    "value": "Lorem ipsum"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

u-in-reply-to h-cite

<div class="h-entry">
<div class="u-in-reply-to h-cite">
  <a href="https://example.com/author" class="p-author h-card">John Doe</a>
  <a href="https://example.com/post" class="u-url">https://example.com/post</a>
  <span class="p-content">Quoted post</span>
</div>
<div class="e-content">Lorem ipsum</div>
</div>

"items": [

        "type": [
            "h-entry"
        ],
        "properties": {
            "content": [
                {
                    "html": "Lorem ipsum",
                    "value": "Lorem ipsum"
                }
            ],
            "in-reply-to": [
                {
                    "type": [
                        "h-cite"
                    ],
                    "properties": {
                        "content": [
                            "Quoted post"
                        ],
                        "url": [
                            "https://example.com/post"
                        ],
                        "author": [
                            {
                                "type": [
                                    "h-card"
                                ],
                                "properties": {
                                    "name": [
                                        "John Doe"
                                    ],
                                    "url": [
                                        "https://example.com/author"
                                    ]
                                },
                                "value": "John Doe"
                            }
                        ]
                    },
                    "value": "https://example.com/post"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

The logic could be: for each in-reply-to, if it is an object, use its value as a URL; otherwise use the string as a URL. Note that it's possible to have multi-reply posts, too.

Okay, I think I can see what I need to do to handle this.

I might park off multi-reply for another day / when folks need/want it!

I'm going to pick this up tomorrow and bake another release and pingback here once ready 👍

This should be fixed and live! Thanks for waiting!
