See [[what-are-microformats]] for more. * See '''[[microformats2]]''' for a technical overview and summary of how to use microformats on public web pages and for APIs. If you are looking for the '''microformats.org blog''', see: * https://microformats.org/blog ([https://microformats.org/feed RSS feed]) __TOC__ ==Introduction== {{main|introduction|Introduction}} This wiki is the central resource of the microformats community and provides microformats authoring guides, references, specifications, drafts, publishing patterns, research, brainstorming, and issue tracking. == Get Started== {{main|get-started|Getting Started}} Get started with microformats: * Make sure your pages and web apps use proper ‘[[posh|<abbr title="Plain Old Semantic HTML">POSH</abbr>]]’ <abbr title="HyperText Mark-up Language">HTML</abbr>. * Mark-up your contact info with [[h-card]], link to other profiles with [[rel-me]] * Mark-up your blog with [[h-entry]]. See https://indieweb.org/ for more * Questions? Read the [[faq|frequently asked questions]], ask on [[IRC]] * Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats [[events]] == How to contribute == Want to join in and contribute? * [[get-started|Get started]] by adding microformats to your website, services, and products * Join the [[irc|IRC Channel]] to learn and help answer questions. * Write a [[testimonial]] * Do something on the [[to-do|to do list]]. * [[Main_Page#microformats_wiki_translations|Translate this microformats wiki into other languages]] to make microformats more accessible to readers of languages around the world. * Before proposing any new microformats, make sure your website is [[POSH]], [[get-started|uses existing microformats]], and then read the [[process]]. This wiki has a number of enhancements to assist development and contributions to microformats. Before you start editing, see the [[wiki-2|wiki introduction page]] for instructions. == Specifications == '''[[microformats2]]''' is stable, has a test suite, publishers, and interoperable implementations. Use it on public web pages and developing more parsers and applications. Current, stable microformats open standard specifications. === Parsing === If you are implementing a microformats2 parser, see: * [[microformats2-parsing]] === Vocabularies === microformats2 vocabularies: * [[h-adr]] * [[h-card]] * [[h-entry]] * [[h-event]] * [[h-feed]] * [[h-geo]] * [[h-item]] * [[h-listing]] * [[h-product]] * [[h-recipe]] * [[h-resume]] * [[h-review]] * [[h-review-aggregate]] === rel microformats === Some microformats require only a rel attribute and are widely supported by consuming sites and software. * [[rel-author]] - link to the author's home page (from an article) * [[rel-enclosure]] - link to attachments (e.g. files) to download and cache * [[rel-license]] - licensed content * [[rel-nofollow]] - links in untrusted 3rd party content * [[rel-tag]] - tag posts and pages by subject * [[XFN]] - social relationships and [[rel-me]] links among profiles for the same person === Classic Microformats === In addition use well established classic microformats for the primary subject of a page for legacy [[search engines]] support. * [[hatom|hAtom]] - blog posts and other date-stamped content * [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] - events * [[hcard|hCard]] - people, organizations, contacts * [[hlisting|hListing]] - listings for products or services * [[hmedia|hMedia]] - media info about images, video, audio * [[hproduct|hProduct]] - products * [[hrecipe|hRecipe]] - cooking+baking recipes * [[hresume|hResume]] - individual resumes and CVs * [[hreview|hReview]] - individual reviews and ratings * [[hreview-aggregate|hReview-aggregate]] - aggregate reviews and ratings * [[adr|adr]] - address location information * [[geo|geo]] - latitude & longitude location ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WGS84 WGS84] geographic coordinates) ==== Classic Drafts ==== Drafts are classic microformats which have varying degrees of support by consuming applications. They are stable and yet still open to change based on consuming application support, per the [[process]] to become specifications. * [[hnews|hNews]] - news articles, extension of hAtom * [[rel-home]] - link to the homepage of a site * [[rel-payment]] - link to a payment mechanism * [[XMDP]] - define a microformat vocabulary / profile * [[xoxo|XOXO]] - outlines == Design Patterns == {{design_patterns}}  == New microformats == ''If you're tempted to try your hand at writing a microformat please read '''[[process|the process]]''' page first!'' and then take a look at * past '''[[exploratory-discussions]]''' for details of prior research, analysis of real-world [[examples]], existing formats, and [[brainstorming]] of possible new microformats, per the microformats [[process]]. == Archived == Past specifications, drafts, and exploratory discussions which have either lacked (or lost) wide publishing support, implementation, or have been superceded by newer specs (see also [[process#related_issues_questions_regarding_document_stages|when does it make sense to demote a microformat spec]]). These may eventually be retired, deprecated, or reincorporated into other exploratory discussions. * [[haudio|hAudio]] * [[robots-exclusion|robots exclusion]] * [[xfolk|xFolk]] - tagged links * [[rel-directory]] - link to web directories * [[vote-links|VoteLinks]] == Examples == * [[examples-in-the-wild]] * [[implementations]] * [[zen-garden]] == Resources == See [[resources]]. == User centric development == *[[user-interface]] *[[data-portability]] *[[social-network-portability]] *[http://indiewebcamp.com/ indieweb] == Shared work areas == * [[to-do]] * [[templates]] * [http://microformats.org/wiki/delete pages for deletion]  * [[Special:Specialpages|"Special" wiki pages]] * [[year-in-review]] == Tools, test cases, 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|tools and services]] that need to process more than one microformat. That section is intended for editors, [[parsers]], [[validators]], test cases, and other information relevant across multiple microformats.   == Microformats wiki translations == You may read and edit microformats articles in many other languages: * languages with over 100 articles ** [[Main_Page-fr|Français (French)]] {{UpdateMarker-fr}} * languages with over 10 articles ** [[Main_Page-ja|日本語 (Japanese)]] ** [[Main_Page-pt-br|Português (Brazilian Portuguese)]] ** [[Main_Page-ru|Русский (Russian)]] * languages with over 2 articles ** [[Main_Page-cs|Česky (Czech)]] ** [[Main_Page-zh|汉语 (Chinese)]] ** [[Main_Page-de|Deutsch (German)]] ** [[Main_Page-es|Español (Spanish)]] ** [[Main_Page-gl|Galego (Galician)]] ** [[Main_Page-id|Indonesia (Bahasa Indonesia)]] ** [[Main_Page-pl|Polski (Polish)]] ** [[Main_Page-ro|Română (Romanian)]] * languages just started ** [[Main_Page-ar|العربية (Arabic)]] ** [[Main_Page-fa|پارسی (Farsi)]] ** [[Main_Page-ka|ქართული (Georgian)]] {{NewMarker}}  ** [[Main_Page-it|Italiano (Italian)]] ** [[Main_Page-ko|한국어 (Korean)]] ** [[Main_Page-th|ภาษาไทย (Thai)]] ** [[Main_Page-tr|Türkçe (Turkish)]] {{NewMarker}}  * elsewhere **[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microformat Wikipedia's article on microformats] has been translated into a number of languages. See also [[other-languages]], and [[how-to-start-new-translation|how-to-start-a-new-translation]]. == community == microformats.org is a community focused on using an empirical (rather than aspirational) [[process]] to research web data & information human publishing behaviors, openly document it on our wiki (http://microformats.org/wiki/), discuss it in [[IRC]], then brainstorm ideas & proposals based on that research for simple formats based on HTML to interoperably represent that information on the web, incrementally implement, and iterate. bcvdijob5am4qh7nkrk73zzs6x05qod
