Hi - does anyone know of a microformat for presenting contextual link
information?

 

I want to provide information on document formats like PDF in a standard
way which is useful for everyone (e.g. link PDF, 500KB). How can I use
that extra span to repurpose the link using microformats?

 

Here is my code:

 

#link {

  background-image : url(pdf.gif);

  background-position : left;

  background-repeat : no-repeat;

  padding-left:20px;

}

 

a#link {

  text-decoration:none; 

  color:#666666;

  font-size:0.8em;  

}

 

a#link span {  

  text-decoration:underline; 

  color:blue;

  font-size:1.2em;

}

 

 

<a href="#" id="link"><span>Document</span> (PDF, 2 pages, 145KB)</a>

 

 

 

Thanks
Steven
