| + | MUST be present, and MAY occur more than once |
| ? | OPTIONAL, but MUST NOT occur more than once |
| [square brackets] | list of common values |
| (parentheses) | data format |
| # | comment |
| ! | awaiting documentation |
| pref | preferred |
| dom | domestic |
| intl | international |
| cell | mobile |
Notes
URLin vCard becomes<a url href=...>...</a>inside the element withvcardin hCard.- Similarly,
EMAILin vCard becomes<a class="email" href=mailto:...>...</a> PHOTOin vCard becomes<img class="photo" src=... alt=Photo of ... />or<object class="photo" data=... type=...>Photo of ...</object>UIDin vCard simply becomes another semantic applied to a specific URL (or EMAIL) for an hCard.- If an adr-child (e.g street-address) is present it will ONLY be considered part of the hCard data IF it is inside an adr.
Geo
- If latitude is present, so MUST be longitude, and vice versa.
- Coordinates MAY be combined a single <abbr> element; then the latitude and longitude MUST be separated by a semicolon in the title attribute and latitude MUST be first:
<abbr class="geo" title="37.386013;-122.082932">home</abbr>
- The same number of decimal places SHOULD be used in each value.
- Coordinates use the datum of WGS84.
