Welcome to the microformats wiki!


Please start with the [[introduction]] page and read [[how-to-play]] before making any edits.
__TOC__
==Getting Started==
* First, read up on what it means to be [http://microformats.org/wiki/posh <abbr title="Plain Old Semantic HTML">POSH</abbr>] {{NewMarker}}.
* See the [http://microformats.org/about/ about page], [http://microformats.org/ latest news], plus recent [[press]], [[presentations]], [[books]], [[podcasts]], and [[screencasts]].
* Have questions? Read the [[faq|frequently asked questions]] and see the  [[glossary]] for new terms.
* Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats [[events]].
==Definition==
One popular definition from our [http://microformats.org/discuss/ mailing list] (see also: [[mailing-lists]]) is "simple conventions for embedding semantics in HTML to enable decentralized development." More precisely, microformats can be defined as:
:simple conventions
:for embedding semantic markup
::for a specific problem domain
:in human-readable (X)HTML/XML documents, Atom/RSS feeds, and "plain" XML
::that normalize existing content usage patterns
::using brief, descriptive class names
::often based on existing interoperable standards
:to enable decentralized development
::of resources, tools, and services
"Or do you just use your browser to browse? That's so 20th century." -- [http://diveintomark.org Mark Pilgrim]

== Examples ==
* [[examples-in-the-wild]]
* [[implementations]]
* [[zen-garden]]
== Tools, Test Cases and Additional Research ==
The first place to look for examples, code, and test cases is in the pages for each individual microformat. There are only a few cross-cutting tools and services that need to process more than one microformat. This section is intended for editors, parsers, validators, test cases, and other information relevant across multiple microformats.
