Re: Schema.org and nested items

Hi,

Thanks for your reply !
Actually, you could consider the title which is in the head section as a 
visible element since it's displayed by the navigator ;)

 From my point of view, the classic meta title and description of an 
HTML page are matching quite well the itemprop "name" and "description" 
of a "http://schema.org/WebPage" element, that's why I've put the 
itemtype="WebPage" on the html tag, and not on the body tag.
Anyway, I'll move the itemtype on the body and see what's happening.

Any opinion on the "mainContentOfPage" vs "about" choice ?


Thanks,
   Jocelyn Fournier

On the other hand, I've replicated some of your code and it does seem to validate in the linter (http://linter.structured-data.org/).  Regarding the failure to produce a likely rich snippet, this could either be your code, or the tool's notoriously parsimonious generation of actual rich snippet previews.
