 Looking at the discussion about [[todo/structured_page_data]], it looks a bit like folks are bogged down in figuring out what *markup* to use for structured page data, something I doubt that people will really agree on.  And thus, little progress is made.
 
 I propose that, rather than worry about what the data looks like, that we take a similar approach

+## Second Pass

+I have written additional plugins which integrate with the [[plugins/contrib/field]] plugin to both set and get structured page data.
+
+* [[plugins/contrib/getfield]] - query field values inside a page using {{$*fieldname*}} markup
+* [[plugins/contrib/ftemplate]] - like [[plugins/template]] but uses "field" data as well as passed-in data
+* [[plugins/contrib/ymlfront]] - looks for YAML-format data at the front of a page; this is just one possible back-end for the structured data
