summary

Prism is a Microformat parser and "html toolkit" backed by the powerful Nokogiri libxml2 parser (http://nokogiri.org). It defines a DSL (a domain-specific language) for parsing POSH formats, and comes included with support for several Microformats. Right now (v0.1.0) it supports:

supported microformats

installation

To get started, just make sure you have Ruby installed on your system and run `gem install prism` (you might need `sudo`).

command line tool

Using the command line tool

prism --hcard http://markwunsch.com > ~/Desktop/mark.vcf
