Key

Based on Perl's standard quantifiers:

bold {1} MUST be present exactly once
italic* OPTIONAL, and MAY occur more than once
+ 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

  • URL in vCard becomes <a url href=...>...</a> inside the element with vcard in hCard.
  • Similarly, EMAIL in vCard becomes <a class="email" href=mailto:...>...</a>
  • PHOTO in vCard becomes <img class="photo" src=... alt=Photo of ... /> or <object class="photo" data=... type=...>Photo of ...</object>
  • UID in 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.
  • If the secondary classes are omitted, the two values MUST be comma separated and latitude MUST be first:<span class=geo>37.386013,-122.082932</span>
  • The same number of decimal places SHOULD be used in each value.
  • Coordinates use the datum of WGS84.

The hCard specification is a work in progress. As additional aspects are discussed, understood, and written, they will be added. These thoughts, issues, and questions are kept in separate pages.
