<h1> hCalendar FAQ </h1>

This page is for documenting Q&A about [[hcalendar|hCalendar]]. If you have a new question to ask, Please consider first asking your question on the [irc://irc.freenode.net/#microformats microformats irc channel] (preferably) or the [http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss/ microformats-discuss] list. New questions and answers should be added to the end of the list. If you have a new question but not an answer, please add it to [[hcalendar-issues|hCalendar issues]].

<h2>Editing this Page</h2>
Please do not use "?" or other punctuation in the headers - it helps to keep the URLs to their fragment identifiers shorter and easier to read, copy/paste etc. See [[how-to-play]] for more wiki editing guidelines.

== Q&A ==

# ''How do I use a class inside when I don't want the element I use it on to be a property of the calendar?''
#*Use a class name that isn't a defined iCalendar property name.
# ''What happens if the class is used both inside and outside ?''
#* That works fine.
# ''What do I do if I want to add styling to a group of calendar events, especially if the calendar contains dynamic content? ''
#* You can write style rules that incorporate both the context of said group (say it is in an ordered list with class name "group" for example) and the events, e.g.:<code>ol.group .vevent { /* insert common styling here */ } </code>
# ''What do you do if you don't want the calendar or card to be displayed?''
#* If you don't want the calendar or card to be displayed, why are you publishing it on the Web?
# ''What if you don't want specific properties to show up?''
#* You can trivially use CSS to hide (or otherwise alter the display) of certain properties. E.g. if you want to hide the "location" from all your VEVENTs you would write a rule like this: <code> .vevent .location { display:none } </code>. This won't, however, keep the properties from being read in the HTML source; or seen by people who don't have CSS enabled; or discovered by search engines or other robots.
# ''If we use <abbr> title for the ISODate, how do we specify a different tooltip?''
#* For reasons of metadata transparency and visibility, it is recommended that you DO NOT specify a different tooltip. However, if in your particular content or application you must, you can do so with a nested span e.g. <code> <abbr title="20050221">Feb. 21st</abbr></code>
# ''Would the use of <acronym> for DTSTART be just as good as <abbr>?''
#* It could be, but there is no need. The <abbr> element is also preferred as it is better defined. The <acronym> element, and in particular, the term "acronym" means different things to different people, and thus we are not using it in [[hcalendar|hCalendar]].
# ''What happens if a browser doesn't support <abbr>?''
#* Then the human readable contents inside the element are displayed, which is the desirable behavior.
# ''How is [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] different from xCalendar, i.e. iCalendar XML guidelines submitted as an [http://www.ietf.org/ID.html IETF Internet-Draft]?''
#* hCalendar and xCalendar are actually very similar in that they are both based on iCalendar standard, RFC2445. However, xCalendar is a way of representing iCalendar files using non-standard XML element names and attributes. This is inadequate and unwieldly for serving on web pages. xCalendar is still a separate, encapsulated document in the context of the web, that requires yet another namespace. Nobody would ever look at an xCalendar XML file in the context of their ordinary browsing, unless it's XSLTed into something else, e.g. hCalendar. On the other hand, [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] is easily embeddable into normal XHTML web pages, easily stylable with CSS, cleanly separates human presentable date information vs. machine parsable ISO-8601 dates, etc. With hCalendar, calendar and events content appears both to the human user *and* to hCalendar-aware machine implementations, parsers, indexers, etc., on *today's* web.
# ''Can you provide more precise location data for an hCalendar event such as latitude and longitude?''
#* Yes, it is possible, by overlaying an [[hcard|hCard]] with the location markup (see [[hcalendar-brainstorming#hCard_locations|the brainstorming on hCard locations]]), e.g. using your lat long example (taking the values as given, someone feel free to fix these to be the real values). The code example(s) are presumed to be inside an element with a class name of "vevent". See the [[hcalendar-location-hcard-example]] page for details. For more discussions of location data, geographic data, and research into current and potential future formats, see the [[location-formats|location formats]] page.
# ''When transforming an hCalendar to a .ics file, do I have to convert the time to UTC?''
#* Yes. The iCalendar format does not permit the time to be published with an offset. hCalendars can be published with offsets, because this promotes accuracy, as it can more easily be verified (timezone math is hard), but tools which transform hCalendar to iCalendar must transformat times to UTC.
# ''How are recurring events represented?''
#* If you take a look at [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-examples#Example_3 Example 3], there is a proposed means using an RRULE property along with a freq sub-property. It's a start - more brainstorming at [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-brainstorming#Recurring_Events hcalendar-brainstorming].
# ''How does one markup just the year as opposed to an entire date? e.g. to represent age, or discussing "the past year" ?
#* Depends on the context. If by "the past year", you mean the past *calendar* year, then mark it up as January 1st through December 31st. If you mean the past 365 days, then mark it up according to whatever date it is relative to. Etc.
# ''Are there any programs of services that convert from iCalendar to hCalender?''
#*At the moment there are no plans to create a program. There are several issues when converting, mainly HOW the information is represented in HTML. Since you can use just about any element which could the converter choose. This is not to say a converter shouldn't be built, but it is out of the scope of microformats.
# ''Is the list of possible types for an ADR and TEL case sensitive?''
#* No, enumerated values are case-INsensitive, therefore Home, home, HOME, etc are all equivalent
# ''Why won't Outlook import my ics file''
#* Outlook is picky about some properties. With outlook, UID, DTSTAMP and METHOD are mandatory. Be sure you have marked-up your hCalendar with a class="uid" and a class="dtstamp" in a class="vevent"
# ''Can I use YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss dates or do I have to use the YYYYMMDDThhmmss format?''
#* hCalendar specifies [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO8601 ISO8601 datetime format], and both examples are valid, you can use with or without hyphens/colons/spaces. Note, however, that both the [http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime w3C note] and RFC 3339 recommend the use of the former, extended (delimited) format.
# ''Do I have to specify detailed time and timezone information?''
#* Include as much information as necessary, minimally include YYYY-MM-DD
# ''Why do I have to use a 'T' between the date and time in ISO Dates?''
#* You can NOT use a white-space character, the 'T' is mandatory to separate the date from the time.
# ''Why are the root class names "vcalendar" and "vevent" and not "hcalendar"?''
#* [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] is based on the iCalendar spec (RFC 2445), which itself is based on vCalendar. The names of objects have remained consistent throughout and are based on the original names from vCalendar.
# ''How do I mark-up a date-time with the proper timezone?''
#* There are two ways to do this. First, you can add your timezone offset to the end of your date-time like this: 2006-01-01T12:00:00-0600. [[http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/world_tzones.html See a world timezone offset map here]]. Also, be sure to adjust offset to account for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time Daylight Saving Time]] for events within applicable dates and locations. The other option is to convert your date-time with a timezone into a UTC date-time. iCalendar requires that times be in UTC, but hCalendar also allows for encoding your date-times as proper ISO date-times with timezone offsets.
# ''Why does my event end a day earlier than I want?''
#* DTEND is not inclusive. If you want an event to end on January 2nd, then you will need to set DTEND to 2006-01-03, one day later. This is because the event will END the first second of the date provided, so if you specify 2006-01-02, then that says that the end of the event is at midnight between the 1st and 2nd.
# ''How do I represent a repeating event in hCalendar?''
#* See [[hcalendar-brainstorming#Recurring_Events|hCalendar brainstorming: Recurring Events]]
# ''What is the best way to represent a full address in the Location?''
#* See [[hcalendar-brainstorming#hCard_locations|hCalendar brainstorming: hCard locations]]
# ''How do you represent the language of a LOCATION?'' - AKA the language parameter.
#* Use the (X)HTML "lang" attribute. See for example [[hcard-authoring#Set_the_lang_when_different|the explanation in hCard authoring of how to use "lang"]].
# ''Is it possible to represent groups of events?'' - e.g workshops at a conference.

<h1>hCalendar Examples in the wild</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcalendar|hCalendar specification]].

The following sites have published events using [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If events on your site are marked up with hCalendar, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL of a page on your site that includes actual [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] markup. Examples added without the URL of a page with hCalendar markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] event? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcalendar/creator hCalendar creator] to write up an event and publish it, or follow the [[hcalendar-authoring|hCalendar authoring tips]] to add hCalendar markup to your page of upcoming events or events you mention in blog posts, wikis, etc.

Don't forget that you can add one of our [[buttons#hCalendar|buttons]] to the page, to indicate the presence of hCalendar microformats. For example: http://www.boogdesign.com/images/buttons/microformat_hcalendar.png. If you can link it back to [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] (or even page on your website, about your use of the microformat), so much the better!

* The [http://www.ox.ac.uk/ University of Oxford (UK)] has a locally produced institutional newsfeed system ([http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxitems/ OXITEMS]) where members of the University can create newsfeeds and add items to those newsfeeds. One of the possibilities is to use a newsfeed to represent a collection of events. This kind of newsfeed can be delivered in the Atom 1.0 notation where the content element of each entry element has [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/atom10.xml some hCalendar embedded in it]. It is also possible to obtain an event in iCalendar notation or to obtain all the events of the newsfeed [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/getevents.ics in iCalendar notation]. For this, it uses [http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ Brian Suda's X2V] to produce the iCalendar from Atom 1.0.

- whilst Tails parses the "title" attribute for dtstart/dtend on any element (does Tails still do this?), that is incorrect. The title attribute only provides semantics for the <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> element, while for elements in general like <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, only the contents of the element are used. This is a simplification and see [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] for details. Technorati Microformats Search only looks for the title attribute on <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> tags per the rules from [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] which apply to [[hcalendar-parsing|hCalendar parsing]] as well.

AndreasLappe: /* examples with some problems */

<h1>hCalendar Examples in the wild</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcalendar|hCalendar specification]].

The following sites have published events using [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If events on your site are marked up with hCalendar, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL of a page on your site that includes actual [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] markup. Examples added without the URL of a page with hCalendar markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] event? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcalendar/creator hCalendar creator] to write up an event and publish it, or follow the [[hcalendar-authoring|hCalendar authoring tips]] to add hCalendar markup to your page of upcoming events or events you mention in blog posts, wikis, etc.

Don't forget that you can add one of our [[buttons#hCalendar|buttons]] to the page, to indicate the presence of hCalendar microformats. For example: http://www.boogdesign.com/images/buttons/microformat_hcalendar.png. If you can link it back to [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] (or even page on your website, about your use of the microformat), so much the better!

* The [http://www.ox.ac.uk/ University of Oxford (UK)] has a locally produced institutional newsfeed system ([http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxitems/ OXITEMS]) where members of the University can create newsfeeds and add items to those newsfeeds. One of the possibilities is to use a newsfeed to represent a collection of events. This kind of newsfeed can be delivered in the Atom 1.0 notation where the content element of each entry element has [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/atom10.xml some hCalendar embedded in it]. It is also possible to obtain an event in iCalendar notation or to obtain all the events of the newsfeed [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/getevents.ics in iCalendar notation]. For this, it uses [http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ Brian Suda's X2V] to produce the iCalendar from Atom 1.0.

- whilst Tails parses the "title" attribute for dtstart/dtend on any element (does Tails still do this?), that is incorrect. The title attribute only provides semantics for the <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> element, while for elements in general like <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, only the contents of the element are used. This is a simplification and see [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] for details. Technorati Microformats Search only looks for the title attribute on <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> tags per the rules from [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] which apply to [[hcalendar-parsing|hCalendar parsing]] as well.

AndreasLappe: /* examples with some problems */

<h1>hCalendar Examples in the wild</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcalendar|hCalendar specification]].

The following sites have published events using [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If events on your site are marked up with hCalendar, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL of a page on your site that includes actual [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] markup. Examples added without the URL of a page with hCalendar markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] event? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcalendar/creator hCalendar creator] to write up an event and publish it, or follow the [[hcalendar-authoring|hCalendar authoring tips]] to add hCalendar markup to your page of upcoming events or events you mention in blog posts, wikis, etc.

Don't forget that you can add one of our [[buttons#hCalendar|buttons]] to the page, to indicate the presence of hCalendar microformats. For example: http://www.boogdesign.com/images/buttons/microformat_hcalendar.png. If you can link it back to [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] (or even page on your website, about your use of the microformat), so much the better!

* The [http://www.ox.ac.uk/ University of Oxford (UK)] has a locally produced institutional newsfeed system ([http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxitems/ OXITEMS]) where members of the University can create newsfeeds and add items to those newsfeeds. One of the possibilities is to use a newsfeed to represent a collection of events. This kind of newsfeed can be delivered in the Atom 1.0 notation where the content element of each entry element has [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/atom10.xml some hCalendar embedded in it]. It is also possible to obtain an event in iCalendar notation or to obtain all the events of the newsfeed [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/getevents.ics in iCalendar notation]. For this, it uses [http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ Brian Suda's X2V] to produce the iCalendar from Atom 1.0.

- whilst Tails parses the "title" attribute for dtstart/dtend on any element (does Tails still do this?), that is incorrect. The title attribute only provides semantics for the <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> element, while for elements in general like <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, only the contents of the element are used. This is a simplification and see [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] for details. Technorati Microformats Search only looks for the title attribute on <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> tags per the rules from [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] which apply to [[hcalendar-parsing|hCalendar parsing]] as well.

AndreasLappe: /* examples with some problems */

<h1>hCalendar Examples in the wild</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcalendar|hCalendar specification]].

The following sites have published events using [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If events on your site are marked up with hCalendar, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL of a page on your site that includes actual [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] markup. Examples added without the URL of a page with hCalendar markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] event? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcalendar/creator hCalendar creator] to write up an event and publish it, or follow the [[hcalendar-authoring|hCalendar authoring tips]] to add hCalendar markup to your page of upcoming events or events you mention in blog posts, wikis, etc.

Don't forget that you can add one of our [[buttons#hCalendar|buttons]] to the page, to indicate the presence of hCalendar microformats. For example: http://www.boogdesign.com/images/buttons/microformat_hcalendar.png. If you can link it back to [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] (or even page on your website, about your use of the microformat), so much the better!

* The [http://www.ox.ac.uk/ University of Oxford (UK)] has a locally produced institutional newsfeed system ([http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxitems/ OXITEMS]) where members of the University can create newsfeeds and add items to those newsfeeds. One of the possibilities is to use a newsfeed to represent a collection of events. This kind of newsfeed can be delivered in the Atom 1.0 notation where the content element of each entry element has [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/atom10.xml some hCalendar embedded in it]. It is also possible to obtain an event in iCalendar notation or to obtain all the events of the newsfeed [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/getevents.ics in iCalendar notation]. For this, it uses [http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ Brian Suda's X2V] to produce the iCalendar from Atom 1.0.

- whilst Tails parses the "title" attribute for dtstart/dtend on any element (does Tails still do this?), that is incorrect. The title attribute only provides semantics for the <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> element, while for elements in general like <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, only the contents of the element are used. This is a simplification and see [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] for details. Technorati Microformats Search only looks for the title attribute on <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> tags per the rules from [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] which apply to [[hcalendar-parsing|hCalendar parsing]] as well.

AndreasLappe: /* examples with some problems */

<h1>hCalendar Examples in the wild</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcalendar|hCalendar specification]].

The following sites have published events using [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If events on your site are marked up with hCalendar, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL of a page on your site that includes actual [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] markup. Examples added without the URL of a page with hCalendar markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] event? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcalendar/creator hCalendar creator] to write up an event and publish it, or follow the [[hcalendar-authoring|hCalendar authoring tips]] to add hCalendar markup to your page of upcoming events or events you mention in blog posts, wikis, etc.

Don't forget that you can add one of our [[buttons#hCalendar|buttons]] to the page, to indicate the presence of hCalendar microformats. For example: http://www.boogdesign.com/images/buttons/microformat_hcalendar.png. If you can link it back to [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] (or even page on your website, about your use of the microformat), so much the better!

* The [http://www.ox.ac.uk/ University of Oxford (UK)] has a locally produced institutional newsfeed system ([http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxitems/ OXITEMS]) where members of the University can create newsfeeds and add items to those newsfeeds. One of the possibilities is to use a newsfeed to represent a collection of events. This kind of newsfeed can be delivered in the Atom 1.0 notation where the content element of each entry element has [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/atom10.xml some hCalendar embedded in it]. It is also possible to obtain an event in iCalendar notation or to obtain all the events of the newsfeed [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/getevents.ics in iCalendar notation]. For this, it uses [http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ Brian Suda's X2V] to produce the iCalendar from Atom 1.0.

- whilst Tails parses the "title" attribute for dtstart/dtend on any element (does Tails still do this?), that is incorrect. The title attribute only provides semantics for the <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> element, while for elements in general like <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, only the contents of the element are used. This is a simplification and see [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] for details. Technorati Microformats Search only looks for the title attribute on <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> tags per the rules from [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] which apply to [[hcalendar-parsing|hCalendar parsing]] as well.

AndreasLappe: /* examples to act on */ added konplan.com

<h1>hCalendar Examples in the wild</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcalendar|hCalendar specification]].

The following sites have published events using [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If events on your site are marked up with hCalendar, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL of a page on your site that includes actual [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] markup. Examples added without the URL of a page with hCalendar markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] event? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcalendar/creator hCalendar creator] to write up an event and publish it, or follow the [[hcalendar-authoring|hCalendar authoring tips]] to add hCalendar markup to your page of upcoming events or events you mention in blog posts, wikis, etc.

Don't forget that you can add one of our [[buttons#hCalendar|buttons]] to the page, to indicate the presence of hCalendar microformats. For example: http://www.boogdesign.com/images/buttons/microformat_hcalendar.png. If you can link it back to [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] (or even page on your website, about your use of the microformat), so much the better!

This kind of newsfeed can be delivered in the Atom 1.0 notation where the content element of each entry element has [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/atom10.xml some hCalendar embedded in it]. It is also possible to obtain an event in iCalendar notation or to obtain all the events of the newsfeed [http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/running/events-demo/getevents.ics in iCalendar notation]. For this, it uses [http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ Brian Suda's X2V] to produce the iCalendar from Atom 1.0.

Example: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11 Apollo 11]. Work on improvements is continuing, prior to roll-out.
**Now used in templates for album (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon The Dark Side of the Moon]), single (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Want_to_Hold_Your_Hand I Want to Hold Your Hand]) and film (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Piano The Piano] release dates.
**Every day from 1 July 2006 onwards has its news events rolled into a single hCalendar item, via the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events current events portal]; earlier dates will be converted shortly.

- whilst Tails parses the "title" attribute for dtstart/dtend on any element (does Tails still do this?), that is incorrect. The title attribute only provides semantics for the <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> element, while for elements in general like <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, only the contents of the element are used. This is a simplification and see [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] for details. Technorati Microformats Search only looks for the title attribute on <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> tags per the rules from [[hcard-parsing|hCard parsing]] which apply to [[hcalendar-parsing|hCalendar parsing]] as well.
