This page collects ideas on how to use semantic XHTML to represent unambiguously [[measure]]s.

== Guillaume Lebleu ==

Basic example with elementary unit using the abbr pattern and the UNECE code (see [[measure-formats]])

<pre>
<span class="length">5 <abbr class="unit" title="FOT">Feet</abbr></span>
</pre>

Optional "value" could be useful in some cases, for instance when the value is provided in plain text:

<pre>
<span class="length"><abbr class="value" title="5">Five</abbr> <abbr class="unit" title="FOT">Feet</abbr></span>
</pre>

===Converter Extension===
This Firefox extension may be of interest. Note, though, that it's been criticised for having a "nag" screen: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2286/ Converter] [[User:AndyMabbett|AndyMabbett]] 15:32, 3 Oct 2006 (PDT)

:This is the author of that extension. I don't want to go much into this, but I just want to clarify this briefly. The part with the nag screen is wrong on two counts: (1) that dialog isn't there anymore, and (2) even if it was there, you only needed to read a paragraph and click a button to make it go away ''forever'' -- but you don't have to take my word for it, install it for yourselves and see. Andy's report is accurate however -- the extension '''''was''''' criticized for that dialog (that's what you get from your free extension's users when you ask for 15 seconds of their time in return for hundreds of hours of your time). --[[User:BogdanStancescu|BogdanStancescu]] 09:35, 9 Oct 2006 (PDT)
