The serialization of recipes to schema could be improved in several ways:
- The index of the step is encoded as free text in
name, but HowToStep has a dedicated order integer property for it.
- Timers could be used to attach duration to
HowToStep via timeRequired.
- Sections are ignored, maybe they could be included as
headine or name, either on the first step of the section, or every step in the section?
I am happy to try and implement those, if that is something desirable!
Below is an example that illustrates those points.
