<h1>Rel Examples</h1><br />
<br />
This page is for documenting real world example uses of <code>rel</code> attributes, including established HTML4 and microformats values, drafts, exploratory discussions, and external examples which could potentially be used in microformats.<br />
<br />
== Purpose and Scope ==<br />
<br />
* '''Use [[process]] first'''. Rather than listing any new <code>rel</code> attribute uses here, if there is a desire to actually rigorously develop the '''functionality''' behind such <code>rel</code> attributes into a microformat, then the [[process]] should be followed with that functionality in mind, rather than a paticular <code>rel</code> attribute value. <br />
* '''Reference URLs to external uses with potential'''. It may not be clear what the value is of documenting external <code>rel</code> ''examples'' outside the attempt to develop any particular microformat. However, it seems reasonable to have a placeholder for such documentation as a reference of sorts to existing real world example uses to be considered unless it proves counter-productive or attempts to bypass the [[process]]. Examples (and any documentation thereof, including implementations) which have been considered and [[rejected-formats|rejected]] should be moved to the [[rejected-formats]] page since they no longer could "potentially" be used in microformats.<br />
* '''Proposing rel attributes is inappropriate'''. Any "proposed rel attributes" would very much be bypassing the [[process]] and thus are discouraged. Pursue the [[process]] for development of a solution to the problem area, rather than leaping to the specific technical solution of using a rel attribute value.<br />
<br />
The following are lists by specification / origin.<br />
<br />
For a flat alphabetical list of rel formats, brainstorms, POSH uses, see: [[existing-rel-values]].<br />
<br />
== HTML4 ==<br />
<br />
The HTML4.01 spec defines several [http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.12 link types] which are values that can be used in <code>rel</code> (and sometimes <code>rev</code>) attributes. See [[existing-rel-values]] for an annotated list.<br />
<br />
== microformats ==<br />
<br />
Several microformats use <code>rel</code> values. These are a useful place to start to understand good uses of <code>rel</code> values.<br />
<br />
* [[rel-license]]<br />
* [[rel-nofollow]]<br />
* [[rel-tag]]<br />
* [[xfn]]<br />
<br />
In addition, though it uses <code>rev</code> instead of <code>rel</code>, [[vote-links]] is listed here for completeness.<br />
* [[vote-links]] - uses <code>rev</code> attribute<br />
<br />
=== drafts ===<br />
* [[rel-directory]]<br />
* [[rel-enclosure]]<br />
* [[rel-home]]<br />
* [[rel-payment]]<br />
<br />
=== exploratory discussions ===<br />
<br />
