This module adds a new variable: $microData to the global scope that creates all the necessary attributes. Some are predefined, but there are methods provided allowing you to add custom attributes. If you use a variable that does not exist on the MicrodataProvider class, it will assume it is an itemprop attribute and will add the attribute accordingly., _(*5)
