'''<dfn>microformats</dfn>''' are extensions to HTML for marking up [[hCard|people, organizations]], [[hCalendar|events]], [[adr|locations]], [[hAtom|blog posts]], [[hProduct|products]], [[hReview|reviews]], [[hResume|resumes]], [[hRecipe|recipes]] etc. Sites use microformats to publish a standard API that is consumed and used by [[search engines]], aggregators, and other tools. See [[what-are-microformats]] for more.
 
==Introduction==
{{main|introduction}}
This wiki is the central resource of the microformats community and provides microformats authoring guides, references, specifications, drafts, publishing patterns, research, brainstorming, and issue tracking.
 
== Get Started==
{{main|get-started}}
Get started with microformats:
 
* First, make sure your pages and web apps use semantically rich, descriptive, ‘[[posh|<abbr title="Plain Old Semantic HTML">POSH</abbr>]]’ <abbr title="HyperText Mark-up Language">HTML</abbr>.
* Mark-up your contact info with [[hCard]] ([[hcard-authoring|see authoring tips]], [[hcard-examples|examples]]) and link from your personal site to other profiles with [[rel-me]].
