Ashley: Forgot to hit “preview” — These are fixes from my last edit.

=#microformats on freenode=
{{TOC-right}}

The microformats channel is hosted on the freenode.net server. See [[irc#Joining_a_server_and_channel|Joining a server and channel]] help for further information.

The idea of having IRC meetups (a set time for a meeting on IRC) has been suggested by [[User:RyanKing|Ryan King]], as it appears to work well for the WordPress community and may help us from time-to-time. As of yet, there are no plans to have meetups.

== Logs ==

[http://rbach.priv.at/Microformats-IRC/ IRC Logs] are available, as well as an [http://microformat.makedatamakesense.com/log_feed/ atom feed] to keep you up to date.

== People on IRC ==

See our [[irc-people|list of IRC regulars]] and their normal timezones.

Our channel has regular admins, who are also mailing list and wiki admins. If you want to get their attention, just say "adminhelp".

==Bots on IRC==

The IRC channel uses these bots:

* [[mfbot]] - logs all edits to this wiki.
* [[mflogbot]] - logs the irc channel itself to archives on the web. (Contact: [[User:RobertBachmann|Robert Bachmann]])
* [http://joiwiki.ito.com/joiwiki/index.cgi?jibot jibot]

=== Greeting Bot ===

To display a brief description of who you are each time you join the channel, you can use “JiBot” to create a definition for your username. To do so pass the <tt>?def</tt> command using something like the following convention (be brief):

<code>?def jdoe is John Doe and can be found online at <nowiki>http://www.example.com</nowiki></code>

More information about using JiBot commands can be found on the [http://joiwiki.ito.com/joiwiki/index.cgi?jibot jibot website]

= Getting started with IRC =

==Basic commands==
'''Please note:''' These directions relate specifically to the services that [http://freenode.net/ Freenode] offers. Other IRC servers may differ with the services they offer and how to operate them.

===Joining a server and channel===
Most clients will offer you a connection dialogue showing the required fields for connection. The details to connect to the server are:

*Server: <code>irc.freenode.net</code>
*Port: <code>6667</code> (usually default)

You should also fill in any fields to set your alias, real name and email address. If available, save these settings for later to speed up connecting in future.

More on setting a password protected alias can be [[irc#Creating_a_registered_nickname|read here]].

Once connected, you will most likely be presented with the "MOTD" (message of the day). For the first visit, it is advisable to read this to find out about the server's policies and other important pieces of news and help, otherwise it can be ignored and you can either [[irc#Creating_a_registered_nickname|authenticate your alias]] or join a channel.

Your client may display to you a listing of all available channels. Locate <code>#microformats</code> and select to join, or type <code>'''/join #microformats'''</code> into the command line available to you in your client (where you've just been shown your connection).

Assuming you've connected correctly, you should now find youself in the microformats channel!

More detailed, but general, advice can be [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html#intro read here].

===Creating a registered nickname===
Registration means that a password becomes associated with your alias/nickname/sign-in name and from the point of registration authorisation is required to communicate using that alias.

Registration of a nickname is required for some channels, and should be done to protect your identity.

To register with [http://freenode.net Freenode], you must communicate with their service known as NickServ. The two basic command you will need to get started are:

For registration: <code>/msg nickserv register ''password''</code>

For authentication (login): <code>/msg nickserv identify ''password''</code>

With <code>''password''</code> being a value of your choice. You can also associate an email address with your nickname, which is optional, but advisable, should you want to request a password retrieval:

To add your email address: <code>/msg nickserv set email ''email''</code>

Where <code>''email''</code> is your email address.

Your client may offer you an option to set your alias and password, so that you will not have to manually enter this information on each join. Refer to your client's help files for more on this.

These commands can be typed directly into the server window upon join, or whilst in a channel, just as you would normally send a message.

More detailed user registration command information can be found in [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration Freenode's FAQ]

===Communicating===

Sending a message to a channel may be as simple as joining the channel and typing into the window, just as you would with an Instant Messenger. You can refer to your client's help files for quicker/alternative methods of doing the following. For all clients the following commands are available (the parts in bold must be used, but are not seen by others):

'''Sending a message to the entire channel you are currently in:'''

Command: '''/msg''' ''Hello world!''

Result: '''<Bill> Hello world!'''

'''Sending an action/emotive/3rd person statement:'''

Command: <code>'''/me''' ''dances a code jig''</code>

Result: '''''Bill dances a code jig'''''

'''Sending a message to one person only (private chat):'''

Command: <code>'''/msg Bob''' ''Hi, would you like to code jig?''</code>

Result (for Bob only): '''<Bill> Hi, would you like to code jig?'''

= Microformats IRC =

We have an IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net/microformats #microformats on the freenode network].

There's typically someone there at any point during the day, though there isn't always active discussion. Sometimes, though this is the best place to discuss issues that need lots of back and forth discussion.

<h1> Microformats Wiki </h1>

'''Hello!''' Welcome to the microformats wiki. If this is your first visit, please see the [[introduction]] page.

Please read [[how-to-play]] before making any edits.

Please read [[process]] before proposing any new microformats.

__TOC__

==Getting Started==

[[what-are-microformats|What are microformats]]? [[what-can-you-do-with-microformats|What can you do with them]]?

The [http://microformats.org/about/ about page], plus recent [[press]], [[presentations]], [[podcasts]], and [[screencasts]] are also good places for some background information.

Frequently asked questions about the wiki and microformats in general are answered in the [[faq|FAQ]].

Want to learn more in person? Check out [[events|microformats events]].

What to help out? Check out [[to-do]] and [[advocacy]].

==Definition==

One popular definition from our [http://microformats.org/discuss/ mailing list] (see also: [[mailing-lists]]) is "simple conventions for embedding semantics in HTML to enable decentralized development." More precisely, microformats can be defined as:
:simple conventions
:for embedding semantic markup
::for a specific problem domain
:in human-readable (X)HTML/XML documents, Atom/RSS feeds, and "plain" XML
::that normalize existing content usage patterns
::using brief, descriptive class names
::often based on existing interoperable standards
:to enable decentralized development
::of resources, tools, and services

"Or do you just use your browser to browse? That's so 20th century." -- [http://diveintomark.org Mark Pilgrim]

=== Start a microformats wiki in another language ===

Don't see the language you want? Help translate the microformats wiki into another language!

We're still figuring this out.

For now, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multilingual_coordination Wikipedia page on Multilingual coordination], and [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_start_a_new_Wikipedia How to start a new Wikipedia] for some good general tips, advice, and community conventions.

You may want to start with the list of [[stable-pages]], which are pages that are relatively stable, and have only minimal/editorial changes, which makes them much easier to keep in sync with the English versions, by using the [[Special:Watchlist|my watchlist]] feature (use it to watch the pages you've translated for changes).

Page naming: for the translated version of a page, use the same name for the page, and simply add the RFC 3066 language identifier code as a dash suffix. E.g. for the French version, [[Main_Page]] becomes [[Main_Page-fr]], and [[how-to-play]] becomes [[how-to-play-fr]].

<h1> XOXO 1.0: Extensible Open XHTML Outlines </h1>

XOXO is a simple, open outline format written in standard XHTML and suitable for embedding in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML. XOXO is one of several [[microformats|microformat]] open standards.

== Preamble ==
When we were discussing [http://developers.technorati.com/wiki/attentionxml Attention.xml], Tantek pointed out that XHTML has everything necessary for semantically expressing outlines and blogroll-like subscriptions in an XML format that is both interactively renderable by browsers and parsable by strict XML engines. This page is here to discuss this idea.

=== Name ===
XOXO stands for eXtensible Open XHTML Outlines, and is pronounced variously as 'ecks oh ecks oh', 'zho-zho', or 'sho-sho'.

== Abstract ==
XOXO is one of several [[microformats]]. This specification defines a new XHTML document type that is based upon the module framework and modules defined in Modularization of XHTML ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization XHTMLMOD]). The purpose of the XOXO document type is to serve as the basis for XHTML friendly outlines for processing by XML engines and for easy interactive rendering by browsers.

== The XOXO Document Type ==
The XOXO document type is made up of the following XHTML modules. The elements, attributes, and minimal content models associated with these modules are defined in "Modularization of XHTML" ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization XHTMLMOD]). The elements are listed here for information purposes, but the definitions in "Modularization of XHTML" should be considered definitive. In the on-line version of this document, the module names in the list below link into the definitions of the modules within the current version of "Modularization of XHTML".

=== The XOXO Profile ===

See [[xoxo-profile]] for the [http://gmpg.org/xmdp XMDP] profile of XOXO which defines the XOXO values for the class attribute.

== Simple XOXO Fragment ==

=== Markup ===

<pre><nowiki><ol class='xoxo'>
<li>Subject 1
<ol>
<li>subpoint a</li>
<li>subpoint b</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Subject 2
<ol compact="compact">
<li>subpoint c</li>
<li>subpoint d</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Subject 3
<ol>
<li>subpoint e</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Sample Rendering ===
<pre><nowiki>
1. Subject 1
a. subpoint a
b. subpoint b
2. Subject 2
3. Subject 3
a. subpoint e
</nowiki></pre>
=== Usage of 'compact' attribute ===

Note the use of the 'compact' attribute to indicate that the subpoints of the headline "Subject 2" are not in an expanded state. The absence of the 'compact' attribute elsewhere indicates that the other headlines are in an expanded state.

=== Possible Default Style Rules for Sample Rendering ===

<pre><nowiki>
ol.xoxo { list-style:decimal; }
ol.xoxo ol { list-style:lower-latin; }
ol[compact="compact"] { display:none; }
</nowiki></pre>

== More Simple Examples ==

MarkP has a set of examples that demonstrates both the simplicity of the markup and the presentational richness that is possible:

* [http://diveintomark.org/public/2004/01/xo-flat.xo simple XO file that can be embedded directly into an XHTML page]
* [http://diveintomark.org/public/2004/01/xo-embeddable.xo XO with nested groups, also directly embeddedable in XHTML]
* [http://diveintomark.org/public/2004/01/xo-standalone.xo XO as a standalone XHTML page] ([http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdiveintomark.org%2Fpublic%2F2004%2F01%2Fxo-standalone.xo valid XHTML])
* [http://diveintomark.org/public/2004/01/xo-with-style.xo XO as a standalone XHTML page, styled with CSS] ([http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdiveintomark.org%2Fpublic%2F2004%2F01%2Fxo-with-style.xo also valid XHTML])
* [http://homepage.mac.com/ctholland/thelab/outlines/ Chris Holland Outline Helper]: tweaked one of above samples, yanked CSS for simplicity, added reference to [http://homepage.mac.com/ctholland/thelab/outlines/outlines.css outlines.css] and [http://homepage.mac.com/ctholland/thelab/outlines/outlines.js outlines.js], pasted a few different combinations of ul/ol/li with the compact attribute.
** in trying to comply with semantic principles the "compact" attribute to ol and ul elements is what drives the display state. Via scripting, i'm setting classes on containing li element for added styling flexibility, though CSS Gurus might be able to replace "li.expanded" in outlines.css with some other CSS selector that says "select an li node that contains an ol node with a 'compact' attribute set".

== Properties of Outline Items ==
Outlines typically consist of a hierarchy of points and subpoints. Each of those points (outline items) itself may have some properties (AKA attributes or metadata) that need to be represented. Perhaps the most common additional property on outline items in practice is the URL as demonstrated in Mark Pilgrim's examples above. Even the text label/title of an outline item could be considered a common property. A few such common properties:
* text
* description
* url (often called xmlurl or htmlurl; sometimes called permalink)
* title
* type (hint of the MIME type of the resource indicated by the URL)

In general, properties on an outline item <code><nowiki><li></nowiki></code> are represented by a nested definition list <code><nowiki><dl></nowiki></code>. Strictly speaking, it is the first <code><nowiki><dl></nowiki></code> inside the <code><nowiki><li></nowiki></code> and before any following <code><nowiki><ol></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><ul></nowiki></code>, or <code><li></code>, e.g. here is an item "item 1" with a description property (the subpoints are there purely as a point of reference to an earlier example).

<pre><nowiki>
<ol class='xoxo'>
<li>item 1
<dl>
<dt>description</dt>
<dd>This item represents the main point we're trying to make.</dd>
</dl>
<ol>
<li>subpoint a</li>
<li>subpoint b</li>
</ol>
</li>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Special Properties ===
There are a handful of special properties which we are able to represent more directly and conveniently with the semantic XHTML building blocks that we have included, instead of terms in a definition list. Mostly taken from the above list of common properties, these are:
* text, url, title, type, and rel (short for relationship)

If we were to represent them simply as definition terms (including the "description" property from the previous example), they might look something like this:

Example for the sake of discussion only / not a canonical XOXO example:

<pre><nowiki>
<ol class='xoxo'>
<li>
<dl>
<dt>text</dt>
<dd>item 1</dd>
<dt>description</dt>
<dd> This item represents the main point we're trying to make.</dd>
<dt>url</dt>
<dd>http://example.com/more.xoxo</dd>
<dt>title</dt>
<dd>title of item 1</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>text/xml</dd>
<dt>rel</dt>
<dd>help</dd>
</dl>
</li>
</nowiki></pre>

However, by taking advantage of the semantic <code><a href></code> element, we are able to dramatically simplify the common cases that utilize these properties. From a parser's perspective, this applies to the first <code><a href></code> element directly inside the <code><nowiki><li></nowiki></code>.

Actual XOXO Example:

<pre><nowiki>
<ol class='xoxo'>
<li><a href="http://example.com/more.xoxo"
title="title of item 1"
type="text/xml"
rel="help">item 1</a>

<dl>
<dt>description</dt>
<dd>This item represents the main point we're trying to make.</dd>
</dl>
</li>
</nowiki></pre>

Any other properties are simply added to the definition list in the same way as the "description" property.

== Publishing XOXO ==

XOXO may be published in two forms, valid XHTML, and simple well-formed XML.

=== Valid XHTML XOXO ===

A valid XHTML XOXO page is a complete XHTML document.

<pre><nowiki>

==== Content-Type ====

Valid XHTML XOXO SHOULD be served with this Content-Type header for maximum browser compatibility.

<pre><nowiki>
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
</nowiki></pre>

It MUST be served with one of these Content-Type headers:

<pre><nowiki>
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml
</nowiki></pre>

=== Simple well-formed XML XOXO ===

The root element of a simple well-formed XML XOXO page is either an <code>ol</code> or <code>ul</code> with class name of "xoxo". This variant is ideal for syndication and transclusion into (X)HTML pages with [[rest/ahah|AHAH]].

<pre><nowiki>
<ol class="xoxo">
<li><a href="URL-one">TEXT-one</a</li>
<li><a href="URL-two">TEXT-two</a></li>
...
</ol>
</nowiki></pre>

== Examples in the Wild ==
This section is '''informative'''.

Too numerous to document thoroughly. Nearly every blogroll on the Web can be parsed as XOXO, since they are typically an unordered list of list items of hyperlinks, which is within the XOXO profile.

== Implementations ==
This section is '''informative'''.

* [http://chneukirchen.org/blog/ Christian Neukirchen] has [http://chneukirchen.org/blog/archive/2006/01/xoxo-rb-0-1-released.html written a xoxo.rb, a XOXO parser and generator for Ruby]
* [http://odeo.com Odeo] publishes users' subscription lists in XOXO. See Ryan King's list [http://odeo.com/profile/RyanKing/xoxo here].
* [http://www.decafbad.com/blog/ Les Orchard] has [http://www.decafbad.com/blog/2005/07/12/xoxo_outliner_experiment written] a [http://www.decafbad.com/2005/07/map-test/tree2.html nice XOXO outline editor in javascript].
* http://homepage.mac.com/ctholland/thelab/outlines/ is a great demonstration of dynamic interactive XOXO with use of "compact" and DHTML to collapse/expand.
* http://tool-man.org/examples/sorting.html is a great demonstration of drag and drop sortable XOXO lists with javascript and CSS.
* http://www.opendarwin.org/~drernie/xoxo-datatypes.html Mapping XOXO to [http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/Concepts/XMLPListsConcept.html Mac OS X property lists]
* [http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/2005/9/30/if_i_had_a_tumblelog single line of rails to convert XOXO to HTML]

=== Sample Code ===

* See the [[xoxo-sample-code]] page for open source sample code to read and write XOXO files.
* See also the [[xoxo-compact-sample]] page with source for CSS and JS that alters the look and feel of some very plain XOXO to have twiddlable triangles for nested lists that respect the compact attribute as well.

== XOXO Schemas ==
This section is informative.

Note: these may be out of date and require updating to reflect the use of <dl> for annotating XOXO items with arbitrary properties.

== Discussions ==
This specification is a work in progress. As additional aspects are discussed, understood, and written, they will be added. There is a separate document where we are keeping our brainstorms and other explorations relating to XOXO:

* See [[xoxo-brainstorming]] for additional thoughts on how to use XOXO for specific uses.
* See also [http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/referer.html blogs discussing this page].

=== Q&A ===
* If you have any questions about XOXO, check the [[xoxo-faq]], and if you don't find answers, add your questions!

=== Issues ===
* Please add any issues with the specification to the separate [[xoxo-issues]] document.

== Complaints: ==
* Roger was wondering how fn and org work together, and didn't see the relevant section in the [[hcard|hCard]] spec.
** See [[hcard#Organization_Contact_Info|Organization Contact Info]] in the spec, and [[hcard-authoring#The_Importance_of_Names|The Importance of Names]] in [[hcard-authoring]]. I recommend this be added to [[hcard-faq]]. [[User:Tantek|Tantek]] 17:54, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
** Once I pointed out the first reference, he wondered why he missed it. Nonetheless, missed it he did. How should we highlight recommendations/suggestions? [[User:BenWest|BenWest]] 21:44, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
* Justin says: I didn't even see that there was a page on authoring within the pages and pages of specification. Even with it at the top of the page. I glanced right over it. It seems like most tutorials on hCard or [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] point people to the spec to get more information. Should we be encouraging people to point to the authoring page? I think a newbie would be very very very intimidated being pointed right to the spec.
:I agree with this. Perhaps a more friendly intro page could be constructed to introduce hCard and link to the various resources. [[User:Ashley|Ashley]] 14:31, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
* I can't find any useful information about marking up a key in the wiki. Perhaps someone could include some examples? [[User:Ashley|Ashley]] 14:31, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
** Ashley, what do you mean by a "key"? [[User:Tantek|Tantek]] 17:54, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
*** Er, hCard "[[hcard-examples#3.7.2_KEY_Type_Definition|key]]". I just found it though. I'm becoming increasingly proficient at opening my mouth before I know what I'm talking about around here, sorry.
* Andy tells of his coworker: She was baffled; not lest because, though the page had a treatise on "Semantic XHTML Design Principles", it didn't list the hCalendar fields, let alone say which are mandatory and which are optional! (ed: RE: hCalendar) [[User:BenWest|BenWest]] 15:11, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
** Agreed that hCalendar needs to list the properties/sub-properties. Added to my [[to-do]] list. [[User:Tantek|Tantek]] 17:54, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
* This suggestion http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2006-October/006101.html and many other proposals like it aren't being captured on the wiki. This means we are doomed to discuss rejected microformats again and again. Maybe we can have a gallery of ideas and their status (both ongoing and dead)... [[User:BenWest|BenWest]] 15:11, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)
* Mike Schinkel says in a recent email to the list: -- (Nothing I could find on Microformats.org is explicit in defining "goals") -- (If would be good if there were a consensus, or at least if we were all aware.) [[User:BenWest|BenWest]] 21:19, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)

== How Does This Work? ==
List accounts of complaints above. After they are addressed and confirmed, we can strike through them, and after some time when it is clear they have been addressed we can remove them completely. Perhaps if there is a suggestion it should be colored (perhaps highlighted yellow) and we should take care to make sure it gets moved to the [[to-do]] list.

We have an IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net/microformats #microformats on the freenode network].

There's typically someone there at any point during the day, though there isn't always active discussion. Sometimes, though this is the best place to discuss issues that need lots of back and forth discussion.

The idea of having IRC meetups (that is, a set time for meeting on IRC) has been suggested by [[User:RyanKing|Ryan King]], as it appears to work well for the WordPress community and may help us from time-to-time. As of yet, there are no plans to have meetups, though.
