== An example of a hCard using all available vCard properties ==

this is the start of a page being worked on by JamieKnight and vbgunz (VictorGonzalez) with the aim to markup and explain and example, which will use all the available properties of hCard from the cheat sheet, and the vCard specification. this page is ongoing.

== Address (ADR) ==

this is a complete example of a adr subsection inside a div element.

<nowiki>
<div class="adr" >
home
9890
2 example road 
flat 7a 
region name
locality name 
TA2 6HU 
United Kingdom 
</div>

</nowiki>

hCard mimics vCard in the ability to have multiple addresses (adr) defined. for example "work, home, ect" this is represented in the types attribute as follows:

<nowiki>
home
</nowiki>

or, to represent work

<nowiki>
work
</nowiki>

<h1>hCard Examples in the wild</h1>

This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcard|hCards specification]].

The following sites have published [[hcard|hCards]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If people or organizations on your site are marked up with hCard (even just your own contact information), feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL to a page on your site that includes actual [[hcard|hCard]] markup. Examples added without a URL to a page with hCard markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcard|hCard]]? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcard/creator hCard creator] to write up some contact information and publish it, or follow the [[hcard-authoring|hCard authoring tips]] to add hCard markup to your current contact page.

** Does it work?? Well it parses OK. Some automated tools replace the < with %3C (etc., eg Brian Suda's vcard form). Unfortunately Kontact (KDE contacts tool) doesn't handle SVG as a vCard photo or logo format - I don't know if this is a standard. It seems it could work and maybe even does somewhere.

===UTF8 Examples===

These examples all contain one or more characters in UTF8 that are outside the ASCII7 range and make for excellent test cases to make sure you are handling UTF8 properly throughout your hCard parsing and transforming. And especially if you are generating vCards, these test cases will help you make sure you are generating UTF8 vCards in such a way that can be recognized by UTF8 supporting vCard applications.

JamieKnight: /* New Examples */

<h1>hCard Examples in the wild</h1>

This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcard|hCards specification]].

The following sites have published [[hcard|hCards]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If people or organizations on your site are marked up with hCard (even just your own contact information), feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL to a page on your site that includes actual [[hcard|hCard]] markup. Examples added without a URL to a page with hCard markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcard|hCard]]? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcard/creator hCard creator] to write up some contact information and publish it, or follow the [[hcard-authoring|hCard authoring tips]] to add hCard markup to your current contact page.

** Inspired by this I thought to try the same for SVG at [http://barefoot-ceramics.com/find Barefoot] ...
** <img class="photo" style="display:none;" src="data:image/svg+xml;text,<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no'?><svg xmlns:svg='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' version='1.0' width='50' height='80' id='svg3957'><defs id='defs3959' /><path d='M 28.91433,...32.192802 z' style='fill:#cc4d00;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:none;stroke-width:0.625;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-opacity:1' id='path9551' /></svg>" alt="Barefoot">
** Does it work?? Well it parses OK. Some automated tools replace the < with %3C (etc., eg Brian Suda's vcard form). Unfortunately Kontact (KDE contacts tool) doesn't handle SVG as a vCard photo or logo format - I don't know if this is a standard. It seems it could work and maybe even does somewhere.

===UTF8 Examples===

These examples all contain one or more characters in UTF8 that are outside the ASCII7 range and make for excellent test cases to make sure you are handling UTF8 properly throughout your hCard parsing and transforming. And especially if you are generating vCards, these test cases will help you make sure you are generating UTF8 vCards in such a way that can be recognized by UTF8 supporting vCard applications.
* [http://tantek.com/ Tantek's Thoughts] encodes Çelik as inline UTF8.
