So I recently notice that the Q&A Schema of XenForo is a bit different from the Q&A Schema from sites like StackOverflow.
Here's what I mean:
StackOverflow's question thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/743164/how-to-emulate-a-do-while-loop-in-python
This thread has a total of 16 replies = 16 answers listed.

Here's another example of Q&A markup on the Apple support forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252077201

XenForo Q&A markup does not behave this way. Instead, it only count the "Best Solution" as the answer, which I think is a bit misleading and does not do the thread its justice.
Example: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/mysql-strings-to-replace-characters.190675/
With the current markup format that XF is using, only the "Best Solution" is being counted for the total amount of answers.

My request: would you guys be able to change the Q&A schema markup to count all replies within a question thread as answers? Also, having the "total answers" count being more than one should also help with CTR (Click-through-Rate).
