What's the most accessible way of marking up a star rating?
For example, my current HTML5 code is just:
<span class="rating">★★★⯪☆</span>
That's 3 full stars, 1 half star, 1 empty star.
I want a screen reader to say "three and a half stars out of five".

In HTML5, can you load a base64 encoded font from within a style attribute?

Eg <span style="@font-face{src:url(data:application/font-woff2;charset=utf-8;base64,......

What's the semantic way to say in HTML "this work was cited in that academic paper"?

I know how I cite something in SchemaOrg (see screenshot) - but I want to do the reverse. Like a pingback or webmention.

Yes. This is how we measure file size on the computers.

One of the problems with online grocery shopping is that I see something like. "Carrot & Cumin waffles" & think "that's *exactly* the kind of vegan hipster stuff that I'd love to eat."
Then, when it arrives, I can't help but wonder what this will do to my algorithmic suggestions.
