Microformats Wiki

Hello! Welcome to the microformats wiki. If you haven't already done so, please see the introduction page.

Please read how-to-play before making any edits.

Please read process before proposing any new microformats.

Getting Started

First, read up on what it means to be posh new!.

What are microformats? What can you do with them?

The about page, latest news, plus recent press, presentations, books, podcasts, and screencasts are also good places for some background information. Our cheatsheets are handy if you need a quick reminder about a particular microformat. We even have a spell-check dictionary of microformat-related terms.

Frequently asked questions about this wiki and microformats in general are answered in the FAQ, and there is a glossary.

Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats events.

Definition

One popular definition from our 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

Simply put: "Microformats are a codification of convention." -- Aaron Gustafson

"Or do you just use your browser to browse? That's so 20th century." -- Mark Pilgrim

How to contribute

Do you want to help take microformats to the next level? You can:

Specifications

Microformats open standards specifications (see also: implementations, examples-in-the-wild)

Drafts

Design Patterns

Design patterns are common uses of markup across microformats.

Exploratory Discussions

Per the microformats process: research and analysis of real-world examples, existing formats, and brainstorming to motivate the microformat. Please check rejected-formats before making additions.

Examples

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.

shared work areas

You may read and edit microformats articles in many other languages:

Teens on Heroin

Adolescence is probably the most difficult, awkward, and crucial point in any person’s life. In this phase, abrupt and vital changes tend to occur that induce a sense of overwhelming confusion upon an individual’s half-formed beliefs. However, these changes that have been experienced by an individual during his or her teenage years prove to make up the most crucial and major turning point in his or her life. Thus, every single decision or act that one commits during these fragile and tender years seems to play a big role on one’s holistic development.

Today, more than any given time frame in history, it is more apparent that teenagers are heavily exposed to various forms of trends that spring out from the clear fountain of society. In fact, they are even more exposed to various dangers that lurk within its deepest recess. One major danger that modern teenagers are exposed to is drugs.

Indeed, it can be easily observed nowadays that drugs, at one point in these teenagers’ lives, tend to become part of their adolescent lives. What is even more disturbing is that taking in illegal drugs, for instance heroin, actually distorts the views of teens on their selves and their environment. It is no surprise then if they feel that their futures are even bleaker.

Probable Causes of Teenage Substance Abuse

Being a teenager entails many new discoveries and new sets of challenges that may seem daunting for an individual who is going through this kind of phase. It is in this specific period that an individual needs all the help and guidance he or she needs for family and friends. Thus, teenage substance abuse occurs when this kind of need is not fulfilled. More specifically, certain teens resort to drug abuse when he or she experiences one of the following: lack of communication between his or her parents, excessive severe punishments from parents, family conflict, or very lax parental supervision and monitoring.

Addiction and Rehabilitation

In most cases, teens tend to succumb to getting hooked on these drugs. However, heroin addiction tends to become the major cause of deaths from substance abuse. Therefore, it is highly essential that friends and families support their loved one who seems to get hooked on this kind of addiction. However, if their loved one's addiction seems to already border on severeness, it would be a very wise decision to place this loved one under an effective addiction treatment program to completely remove the stranglehold that heroin has on him or her.
