<br />
===Why the different markup?===<br />
This wiki uses a non-standard system for the layout of the Ingredients & Method sections of all recipes.<br />
This should not be a problem if you use the automated recipe builder to create recipes as it will include the required markup automatically.<br />
<br />
The new syntax is to create the correct MicroData HTML markup for all recipes so they conform to the [http://schema.org/Recipe Schema.org ''Recipe'' pragma].<br />
<br />
This ensures that Cookipedia's recipes comply with the Google Rich snippets rules and are rewarded by inclusion of a thumbnail image and cooking time information on normal Google search listings.<br />
<br />
The templates magically surround each line with the correct microformat tag display the line in the correct html list format.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
The conventional syntax for the Ingredients listing is the MediaWiki unordered list bullet points<br />
<br />
===Ingredients===<br />
<br />
* Item one<br />
* Item two<br />
* Item 3...<br />
<br />
The new system uses the template ''[[Template:RecipeIngredients]]'' to create the Microformat data from the ingredient listing and format the display correctly.<br />
<br />
===Ingredients===<br />
<nowiki>{{RecipeIngredients<br />
<br />
| Item 1<br />
| Item 2<br />
| Item 3...<br />
<br />
}} </nowiki><br />
<br />
====Method====<br />
The conventional syntax for the Method listing is the MediaWiki ordered list bullet points<br />
<br />
===Method===<br />
<br />
* Recipe method instruction line one<br />
* Recipe method instruction line two<br />
* Recipe method instruction line three...<br />
<br />
The new system uses the template ''[[Template:RecipeMethod]]'' to create the Microformat data from the ingredient listing and format the display correctly.<br />
<br />
===Method===<br />
<nowiki>{{RecipeMethod<br />
<br />
| Recipe method instruction line one<br />
| Recipe method instruction line two<br />
| Recipe method instruction line three...<br />
<br />
}} </nowiki><br />
<br />
===Limitations===<br />
The templates are currently limited to a maximum of 25 items in each listing. If the the Method or Ingredients listing needs more than 25 items, the template must be used twice.<br />
<br />
===Method===<br />
<nowiki>{{RecipeMethod<br />
<br />
| Recipe method instruction line one<br />
| Recipe method instruction line two ...<br />
| Recipe method instruction line twenty five<br />
<br />
}} </nowiki><br />
<nowiki>{{RecipeMethod<br />
<br />
| Recipe method instruction line twenty six ...<br />
| Recipe method instruction line twenty seven ...<br />
<br />
}} </nowiki><br />
<br />
If the listing needs to be broken into two sections, again, the template needs to be used twice. ''see [[Pasta e fagioli]]''.<br />
<br />
===Troubleshooting===<br />
<br />
* Check the template name is spelt correctly and that the case matches.<br />
* Ensure the template start tags '<nowiki>{{</nowiki>' and end tags '<nowiki>}}</nowiki>' have been included.<br />
* Compare your problem page with any of the current Cookipedia recipes<br />
<br />
===Choosing the image displayed on Google's listing===<br />
To ensure the correct image is shown it should be selected by including the atl tag: alt=Electus<br />
<br />
<nowiki>''|Image = [[Image:Stuffed butternut squash recipe.jpg|300px|alt=Electus]]</nowiki> <br />
===See the results in action===<br />

<br />
The microdata markup has now been added to all the recipes on Cookipedia and the Recipe Builder automatically creates all of then new markup codes.<br />
