== Properties ==

h-event properties, inside an element with class '''h-event''':

* '''<code>p-summary</code>''' - short summary of the event

* '''<code>dt-start</code>''' - datetime the event starts
 +
* '''<code>dt-end</code>''' - datetime the event ends
 +

 +
* '''<code>p-description</code>''' - more detailed description of the event
 +
* '''<code>u-url</code>''' - permalink for the event
 +
* '''<code>p-category</code>''' - event category(ies)/tag(s)

* '''<code>p-location</code>''' - where the event takes place, optionally embedded [[h-card]], [[h-adr]], or [[h-geo]]

Experimental properties currently in use in the wild but not (yet) part of the official h-entry spec:
 +
* '''<code>p-attendee</code>''' - a person attending the event, optionally embed [[h-card]]
 +
<div class="discussion">
 +
* This draft has not been updated in almost 2 years. During this period, <code>h-entry</code> <code>p-rsvp</code> has been standardised, thus making it robust and mature enough for the addition. I guess it's about time to unlabel <code>p-attendee</code> as experimental.
 +
** I've filed https://github.com/microformats/h-event/issues/2 to track advancing this draft as a whole. Let's do that with the existing draft before discussing p-attendee in particular.

 +
* I would also suggest to extend expected value to [[h-entry]], so that, while the personal info can be preserved, the attendee can also support p-rsvp property of h-entry.
 +
** I don't understand this. p-attendee is supposed to represent a person, e.g. an [[h-card]]. How would it having that be an [[h-entry]] make sense and work (from a publishing and consuming code perspective)? This proposed extension to p-attendee may be worth its own issue as well.

h-event is a simple, open format for events on the web. h-event is often used with both event listings and individual event pages. h-event is one of several open microformat draft standards suitable for embedding data in HTML.

h-event is the microformats2 update to hCalendar.

Status
This is a Living Specification yet mature enough to encourage additional implementations and feedback.

Get started

The class h-event is a root class name that indicates the presence of an h-event.

p-name, dt-start, dt-end, p-location, p-summary, and the other h-event property class names listed below define properties of the h-event.

See microformats2-parsing to learn more about property class names.

Properties

h-event properties, inside an element with class h-event:

Experimental properties currently in use in the wild but not (yet) part of the official h-entry spec:

  • This draft has not been updated in almost 2 years. During this period, h-entry p-rsvp has been standardised, thus making it robust and mature enough for the addition. I guess it's about time to unlabel p-attendee as experimental.
    • I've filed https://github.com/microformats/h-event/issues/2 to track advancing this draft as a whole. Let's do that with the existing draft before discussing p-attendee in particular.

All properties are optional.

Status

h-event is a microformats.org draft specification. Public discussion on h-event takes place on h-event-feedback and the #microformats irc channel on irc.freenode.net.

h-event is ready to use and implemented in the wild, but for backwards compatibility you should also mark h-events up as classic hCalendar events.

Property Details

(stub, to be expanded)

p-location

p-location is typically a physical address, optionally marked up with h-adr, for example: 

<p class="p-location h-adr">
  <span class="p-street-address">17 Austerstræti</span>
  <span class="p-locality">Reykjavík</span>
  <span class="p-country-name">Iceland</span>

Validating

Backward Compatibility

Publisher Compatibility

For backward compatibility, you may wish to use classic hCalendar classnames in addition to the more future-proof h-event properties, for example: 

<div class="h-event vevent">
  <h1 class="p-name summary">Some great event</h1>
</div>
</div>

Parser Compatibility

Microformats parsers SHOULD detect classic properties only if a classic root class name is found and parse them as microformats2 properties.

If an "h-event" is found, don't look for a "vevent" on the same element.

Compat root class name: vevent
Properties: (parsed as p- plain text unless otherwise specified)

iCalendar Compatibility

hCalendar-specific implementations that perform custom display or translation to iCalendar .ics SHOULD prefer p-name over p-summary, and use p-summary value(s) as a fallback if there is no p-name.

Background

This work is based on the existing hCalendar and iCalendar specifications.
