I assume the folks at Google, Chrome, etc have looked at this?schema.orgSchema.org - Schema.org Schema.org is a set of extensible schemas that enables webmasters to embed structured data on their web pages for use by search engines and other applications. 010

JR Oakes @jroakes.bsky.social · 11/11/2024Need to get clean content from a bunch of URLs quickly? E.g. API docs for a language model.
