[uf-discuss] Confused about telephone numbers in hCard

[Rickards, Julian (NDM)]

Sorry Scott for top-posting, will change that from now on.

that's likely only working because it's ignoring the

following works:


This is a pity because for my work, I have to create a contact page in
both French and English (the two official languages of the province of
Ontario, Canada) so having "work" or "fax" on a French page won't work
for us. It would have been great if the hCard specification allowed
class="work" because then I could use <span class="work">Bureau</span>
or alternate descriptions in English (or any language) such as <span
class="work">Toll-free Phone</span>.


> <div class="tel"><span class="type">work</span>: <span
class="value">1-800-670-5861</span></div>


At http://jrickards.ca/hcard.html, I used code similar to the one you
have above. The phone number doesn't appear in Outlook when using Tails
Export but, when using the link to X2V, it adds "work" to the beginning
of the phone number.
