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

[Justin Thorp]

Thanks Brian and Ciaran for your help.

It'd be cool if there was one page with a big list of different microformat code examples. Instead of having to dig around implementations.  This would help to give me a sense of the full breath of what I am capable of accomplishing with hCalendar.

I was completely unaware of include-pattern.  I don't think it is mentioned once on the hCalendar page.  Maybe it would be good on the spec to show examples of how microformats relate to other microformats.  Again that would help to show the full range of what is possible with microformats.

Cheers,
Justin

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.
