Microformats Wiki
Please read how-to-play before making any edits.
Please read process before proposing any new microformats.
Introduction
What are microformats? And what can you do with them? See the about page for an overview, and the introduction page for more info. Recent press, presentations, podcasts, and screencasts are also a good place for some background reading/listening. Frequently asked questions are answered in the faq. Want something or want to contribute? Help with things to-do. Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats events.
One popular definition from our mailing list (see also: mailing-lists) is "simple conventions for embedding semantics in HTML to enable decentralized development." More precisely, microformats can be defined as:
- simple conventions
- for embedding semantic markup
- for a specific problem domain
- in human-readable (X)HTML/XML documents, Atom/RSS feeds, and "plain" XML
- that normalize existing content usage patterns
- using brief, descriptive class names
- often based on existing interoperable standards
- to enable decentralized development
- of resources, tools, and services
"Or do you just use your browser to browse? That's so 20th century." -- Mark Pilgrim
How to contribute
Want to help take microformats to the next level?
Check out our open to-do list for things to help get done. Join the mailing lists and irc channel and learn and help answer questions about microformats.
Take a look at the microformats wiki in other languages and help translate the microformats wiki to make microformats globally accessible.

Examples
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. This section is intended for editors, parsers, validators, test cases, and other information relevant across multiple microformats.
- accessibility
- faqs-for-rdf
- icalendar-implementations
- parsing-microformats
- selected-test-cases-from-the-web
- Source code repository -- HowTo: Download code from the repository
- vcard-implementations, vcard-errata
- why-are-content-standards-hard
- buttons new!
- demo - a page with links for quickly demonstrating microformats working in practice.
- events new!
- to-do
- user-interface
- marked-for-deletion
microformats wiki in other languages
You may read and edit microformats articles in many other languages:
- languages with over 50 articles
- Français (French) nouveau !
- languages with over 2 articles
- languages with 2 articles
microformats translations elsewhere
These are offsite pages/sites with translations about microformats. If you are working on one of these, please consider translating the main microformats website!
Start a microformats wiki in another language
Don't see the language you want? Help translate the microformats wiki into another language!
We're still figuring this out.
For now, see the Wikipedia page on Multilingual coordination, and How to start a new Wikipedia for some good general tips, advice, and community conventions.
You may want to start with the list of stable-pages, which are pages that are relatively stable, and have only minimal/editorial changes, which makes them much easier to keep in sync with the English versions, by using the my watchlist feature (use it to watch the pages you've translated for changes).
Page naming: for the translated version of a page, use the same name for the page, and simply add the RFC 3066 language identifier code as a dash suffix. E.g. for the French version, Main_Page becomes Main_Page-fr, and how-to-play becomes how-to-play-fr.
