There have been requests for buttons for various microformats. Either badges, or buttons that do something with the specific microformats. This page keeps a list of buttons, and requests as well. - Tantek

Microformat Button

See spread-microformats for SVG and more.

I've made a button for microformats. Since there are so many microformats and with more to come, just indicating support/ use of might be a good generic approach. The image is free to use. Please copy it to your own hosting account and not link to it.

I already have a "I use " on my blog: http://doncrowley.blogspot.com/

CSS Styles for microformats

I'm not sure wether this can be under buttons, but I don't know where else to put it. This is a stylesheet containing styles for most microformats. And, it's automatic. I release it under the cc by-sa. Please note that I am new to microformats, and if you can improve this, please do. Mac Lover 13:25, 13 Apr 2007 (PDT)

CSS Buttons

As there are new microformats happening all the time I set about making a CSS button that looks like the handmade versions. This is the result.

The file with the CSS and the two images required (logo and background) can be downloaded from The Beastly Beasts.

Extract the microformat directory and the files in it to /css so that you have:
/css/microformat/microformat.css
/css/microformat/background.png
/css/microformat/logo.png

If your paths are different a bit of editing is needed.

The XHTML to create a button is:

<tag class="microformat-button microformat-type"><span></span>microformat-type</tag>

For example, an hCard button with a link to the spec:

<a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard" title="Microformat enabled" class="microformat-button hcard"><span></span>hcard</a>

Buttons for draft formats

These may be subject to change if the names of the formats change when they are released.

Rohit is a very poor CSS hacker, but gave it his best shot. He also rendered it at 72 and 18 points.
