I am a relative novice with Freeway Pro. Does anyone know how I can insert rich snippets into the HTML?
I contacted softpress and this was the advice they gave me:
“You could do it all as one large markup item with all the text for that scheme, or you could have the “regular” text be normal text in an HTML item in Freeway, and only have the text with the extra formatting be in markup items (those would be created as inflow items in the text, and have the entire span in them).
If you do the later, you’d want to make the HTML item a Section in the Item Output Settings tab of the Inspector and add two Extended option; itemscope and itemtype with the appropriate values.”
However, I was not sure how to create inflow items and was not able to find this in the guide.
Here is the google information about rich snippets, which I think is just extra html categorizing the information on the page for them to easily pull up in more detailed search results.
Interesting. It looks as though for now, you could use Data Highlighter, mentioned on that page. The micro data formatting is something the you might need an Action for, though. It would be further complicated by the need to do inline things – <span itemprop="locality">Albuquerque</span> for example – would mean that you would have to replace the word Albuquerque with an inline Action, and type the city name into the Actions palette. Talk about a fractured workflow.

Hi Walter,
I’ve looked micro data in the past and came to the conclusion the best solution IMHO (other than Freeway handling the data natively) would be to wrap the information in specific class styles that an Action (page or folder) could then look for and add the required attributes.
The microdata prefix is there in the style just to try and prevent name clashes.

That’s a good idea. It would become tricky to keep Freeway from making a mixed style if you also wanted to add some local highlighting to the text, though, but this is less complex than putting the actual text in as an inline Action-item.
