If you are a resident of sunny Southern California, then you know how hot it can get in the summers. Outdoor rooms are becoming a rising trend with certain areas designated for the patio, kitchen, swimming pools, hot tub, and more. While some homeowners do already have their own retreat in their backyards, others have to shell out some money in order to create the perfect getaway. Fear not—many homeowners have managed to achieve beautiful outdoor living spaces while on a budget. Before creating a fully-functional and unique outdoor living space, thorough planning is necessary to ensure your little backyard getaway matches your goals and your budget.
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Welcome to the microformats wiki!}}


In the wintertime, many of us may find that the weather is cooler and thus, becomes the perfect opportunity to install a modern outdoor cabana to call their own. An outdoor cabana will be the perfect “home away from home” where some may have a fully equipped living room with a fireplace as well as an outdoor kitchen. Your outdoor living space can be designed just for the family to relax during the hot and sweaty summers and be used to house your guests.

'''<dfn>microformats</dfn>''' are HTML for marking up [[h-card|people, organizations]], [[h-event|events]], [[h-adr|locations]], [[h-entry|blog posts]], [[h-product|products]], [[h-review|reviews]], [[h-resume|resumes]], [[h-recipe|recipes]] etc. Sites use microformats to publish a standard API that is consumed and used by [[search engines]], [[browsers]], and other web sites. See [[what-are-microformats]] for more.


Before building or modifying your backyard, be sure to assess your property first. This includes your current patio and its furniture, the swimming pool, and landscape (e.g. garden). You will want to see what needs to be replaced, what needs to be added, and what needs to be thrown away. Perhaps you have some really unattractive patio chairs that need replacing or maybe the entire patio needs a new makeover. Whatever it is, be sure to take notes and think of elements that you would like to incorporate in your outdoor living space. Flipping through magazines and surfing the internet for other outdoor designs can also give you a better idea of how you want your little backyard retreat to look like.

In the recent years, outdoor bathrooms are also becoming more and more commonplace. And therefore, some conscious outdoor homeowners have decided to complete their outdoor living spaces with an outdoor bathroom. If you have designed your outdoor living space to be very minimalistic and modern, why not add a modern bathroom vanity to your outdoor bathroom?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have your backyard oasis ready before the summer arrives? Good planning will allow you to have your own little backyard retreat to utilize whenever you need. With winter in full course, this is the perfect opportunity for homeowners to plan out their dream outdoor living space to prepare for the upcoming summer. Your outdoor living space is great for families, friends, and even for parties and other social gatherings. Creating your outdoor oasis takes a lot of time and a lot of planning—depending on the complexity, it may even take several seasons to complete. Plan ahead today! '''[Click here[Click here]]'''

microformats are HTML for marking up people, organizations, events, locations, blog posts, products, reviews, resumes, recipes etc. Sites use microformats to publish a standard API that is consumed and used by search engines, browsers, and other web sites. See what-are-microformats for more.

  • See microformats2 for a technical overview and summary of how to use microformats on public web pages and for APIs.

Introduction

Main article: 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.

How to contribute

Want to join in and contribute?

This wiki has a number of enhancements to assist development and contributions to microformats. Before you start editing, see the wiki introduction page for instructions.

Specifications

microformats2 is stable, has a test suite, publishers, and interoperable implementations. Use it on public web pages and developing more parsers and applications.

Current, stable microformats open standard specifications.

Parsing

If you are implementing a microformats2 parser, see:

Vocabularies

microformats2 vocabularies:

rel microformats

Some microformats require only a rel attribute and are widely supported by consuming sites and software.

  • rel-author - link to the author's home page (from an article)
  • rel-enclosure - link to attachments (e.g. files) to download and cache
  • rel-license - licensed content
  • rel-nofollow - links in untrusted 3rd party content
  • rel-tag - tag posts and pages by subject
  • XFN - social relationships and rel-me links among profiles for the same person

Classic Microformats

In addition use well established classic microformats for the primary subject of a page for legacy search engines support.

  • adr - address location information
  • geo - latitude & longitude location (WGS84 geographic coordinates)

Classic Drafts

Drafts are classic microformats which have varying degrees of support by consuming applications. They are stable and yet still open to change based on consuming application support, per the process to become specifications.

  • hNews - news articles, extension of hAtom
  • XMDP - define a microformat vocabulary / profile
  • XOXO - outlines

If you're tempted to try your hand at writing a microformat please read the process page first! and then take a look at exploratory-discussions for details of prior research, analysis of real-world examples, existing formats, and brainstorming of possible new microformats, per the microformats process.

Design Patterns

Design patterns are common uses of markup across microformats.

Archived

Past specifications, drafts, and exploratory discussions which have either lacked (or lost) wide publishing support, implementation, or have been superceded by newer specs (see also when does it make sense to demote a microformat spec). These may eventually be retired, deprecated, or reincorporated into other exploratory discussions.

Examples

Resources

See resources.

User centric development

Shared work areas

Tools, test cases, additional research

The first place to look for examples, code, and test cases is in the pages for each individual microformat. There are only a few cross-cutting tools and services that need to process more than one microformat. That section is intended for editors, parsers, validators, test cases, and other information relevant across multiple microformats.

 

Microformats wiki translations

You may read and edit microformats articles in many other languages:

community

microformats.org is a community focused on using an empirical (rather than aspirational) process to research web data & information human publishing behaviors, openly document it on our wiki (http://microformats.org/wiki/), discuss it in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/microformats), then brainstorm ideas & proposals based on that research for simple formats based on HTML to interoperably represent that information on the web, incrementally implement, and iterate.
