[uf-discuss] Microformat for programming language reference?

[Ilya Radchenko]

It seems that for java, php, python, and ruby that list would be huge.
But it's not impossible, just need someone with a passion to write
something like that. Would be nice to see, since I too have to work
with a lot of different scripting/oo languages.

A standardised markup format (uf) for this kind of programming language reference page would I think be quite useful.

However, I've also seen the above pattern with the class name on the <pre> element instead of the <code> element, and I've seen this done without the <code> element at all. Not really sure which is "best," though the first seems the most straightforward to me.
