			== Purpose ==

			[[ChrisMessina]] [http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2005-November/002140.html hacked Apple's Dictiontionary.app to see how it works]. He discovered some interesting markup. [[RyanKing]] suggested that the community collect examples of dictionary and thesaraus lists. Create a section below to add your own '''real world''' examples

New page

== Dictionary.app ==

I decided to hack Dictionary.app and see how it worked. It uses a stylesheet called DefaultStyle.css with all kinds of markup I've never before seen the likes of. For example:

<pre>
o|ent {
font-family:'Baskerville';font-weight:normal;
font-size:medium;
display: block;
margin: 0em 0em 0em 0em;
margin-left: -13px;
margin-bottom: 1.0em;
}
</pre>

It uses this 'o' object a lot and then I checked up on the namespaces referenced in the top of the document:

<pre>
@namespace html url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@namespace o url(http://oup.dataformat.com/doc/OUP_DTD_Dictionary.html);
</pre>

Apparently you can namespace objects dynamically! ...I had no idea!

Anyway, checking out that page resulted in a format that seemed ripe for some dl|dt|dd microformat love:

<pre>
<entry type="subject" sortkey="sortkeyhere" status="Active"
title="noad:1.01" entry="0" stage="1">
<meta> ... </meta>
<hwGrp> ... <hwGrp>
<senseBlock>
<meta> ... </meta>
<prelim> ... </prelim>
<sense>
<meta> ... </meta>
...
</sense>
</senseBlock>
</entry>
</pre>

Since much of the work has already been done and there's a decent use case for this kind of app, I was wondering if we might be able to take the data that's already available and see what a mF could do for it -- y'know, to be able to offer real world app conversion documentation?
