@johnmu I know this will sound stupid, but... I have alternative ways for a step by step guide on my How To page. It explicitly says: use this or that. I cannot use HowToSection for listing alternative ways according to Google guidelines. I have to use 2 HowTo objects. But it's also against Google's guidelines to use 2 HowTo objects on the same page. What should I do? https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/how-to
@fajela One thing I recommend is to focus on how you want things displayed. Google only shows one how-to in search. If you specify two, how would it even work? If there's no "UI-treatment" available, then you don't achieve much with the markup, even if Google accepted it as valid.
@johnmu yeah, I know, there are two alternative options on step 4. Making 2 howtos doesn't make any sense
@johnmu and what I was meaning was that the recommendations in HowTo documentation contradict each other
