[uf-discuss] in hcalendar, associating single date with multiple events?

[Brian Suda]

I had a look at your mark-up, and normally you would use the
include-pattern to reference data elsewhere on a page, but your have
days in one place and times in another, so you can't really split that
with the include-pattern.

Lets see what we can do with this example from the page:
       <h2>Friday, October 20, 2006</h2>
		<p>
			<b>  12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Lecture &mdash; Christopher Columbus</b><br />
			<a href="rooms/3-madson.jpg" target="_blank">Pickford Theater</a>,
			3rd floor 			James Madison building 			Scholar Peter Dickson
presents a talk on "Decoding Columbus: Evidence Beyond DNA" in a
program sponsored by the Hispanic Division.			Contact: (202) 707-2013
		</p>


       <h2>Friday, October 20, 2006</h2>
		<p class="vevent">
			<b><abbr title="2006-10-20T12:00:00-0400" class="dtstart">12:00
PM</abbr> - <abbr title="2006-10-20T13:00:00-0400" class="dtend">1:00
PM</abbr> <span class="summary">Lecture &mdash; Christopher
Columbus</span></b><br />
			<span class="location">
			<a href="rooms/3-madson.jpg" target="_blank">Pickford Theater</a>,
			3rd floor 			James Madison building
			</span>
			<span class="description">
 			Scholar Peter Dickson presents a talk on "Decoding Columbus:
Evidence Beyond DNA" in a program sponsored by the Hispanic
Division.			Contact: (202) 707-2013
			</span>
		</p>

It is also best-practic to markup the venue with an hCard. That is
pretty straight forward, so i'll leave that up to you.

Normally, for events that are all day (e.g. no time aspect) the
include pattern would work just fine.

<h2 id="fri-oct"><abbr class="dtstart" title="2006-10-20">Friday,
October 20, 2006</abbr></h2>
<p class="vevent">Some all day event ... <a href="#fri-oct" class="include"/>
<!-- normal hCal here -->
...
</p>

Some folks have are also concerned with the tooltip showing the ISO
date, this can be solved because the "inner-most" element's title
attribute is used as the tooltip.

So you can do:
<h2 id="fri-oct"><abbr class="dtstart" title="2006-10-20"><span
title="tooltip text here">Friday, October 20, 2006</span></abbr></h2>

and that would solve any display issues.
