[uf-discuss] Book Citation Examples

[Tim White]

As an interest in the citation microformat and title design pattern I
mentioned previously[1], I've done a little research to see how
publishers are currently marking up book titles.

The results have been added to the citation examples page as Citation
Mark up in the Wild[2]


These are just a few examples from a handful of publishers' online
catalogs. A quick synopsis of the type of mark up being used:

For Titles:

* id="title" class="producttitle"
* class="title"
* id="lblTitle" class="book_headline block"
* table cell, no mark up
* h1
* h2


Sub-titles:

* id="subtitle" class="productsubtitle"
* class="sub_title"
* id="lblSubTitle" class="book_subline"
* class="subTitle"

I've also created a citations in the wild page[3] where I tried to
capture the pieces of each publisher's page. The wiki page needs a
bunch of clean up, and I may just post the examples on my site with
just a list of links to the publisher's sites. Let me know which you'd
prefer.

Any feedback is appreciated.
