Re: How are you currently generating Schema.org syntax?

Hi Joe,

I released an open source tool <https://schema.pythonanywhere.com/> two 
years ago. You can read the online help 
<http://polak.es/gen_help/index.html> files on how to incorporate the 
output into your website.

The gist of it is this: If it is hidden, use JSON-LD, if not, use 
Microdata or RDFa.

Donations are welcome. ;-)

Cheers,

Hans
