==Introduction==
This wiki is the central resource of the microformats community. You'll find current versions of published microformat specifications, specification drafts and publishing patterns. The wiki also hosts development resources, such as brainstorming pages for new formats and issue tracking pages for all current and in-development microformats.
 
== Get Started==
To get started with microformats:
 
* First, be familiar writing your pages and applications with semantically rich, descriptive, ‘[[posh|<abbr title="Plain Old Semantic HTML">POSH</abbr>]]’ <abbr title="HyperText Mark-up Language">HTML</abbr>.
* Learn about microformats from the [http://microformats.org/about/ about page], [http://microformats.org/ blog], [[press]], [[presentations]], [[books]], [[podcasts]], & [[screencasts]] pages.
* Take a look at established specifications such as [[hcard|hCard]] and [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and follow the [[hcard-examples|examples]] to start publishing microformats.
* Have questions? Read the [[faq|frequently asked questions]] and see the [[glossary]] for terms and definitions. You can also post to the {{MicroformatsMailingList}}.
* Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats [[events]].
 
==Definition==
Microformats are small patterns of HTML to represent commonly published things like [[hcard|people]], [[hcalendar|events]], [[hatom|blog posts]], [[hreview|reviews]] and [[rel-tag|tags]] in web pages.
 
Microformats enable the publishing of higher fidelity information on the Web; the fastest and simplest way to provide feeds and APIs for the information in your website.
 
* Read more explanations of [[what-are-microformats|what microformats are]], and [[what-can-you-do-with-microformats|what you can do with them]].
 
== How to contribute ==
Do you want to help take microformats to the next level? You can:
 
* [[get-started|Get started]] by adding microformats to your website, services, and products.
* [[advocacy|Advocate]] the use of microformats on other web sites, especially those you use.
* Write a [[testimonial]].
* Do something on the [[to-do|to do list]].
* Join the [[irc|IRC Channel]] and [[mail|mailing lists]] to learn and help answer questions (read the [[mailing-lists#General_guidelines|general guidelines]] before posting).
* [[Main_Page#microformats_wiki_translations|Translate this microformats wiki into other languages]] to make microformats more accessible to readers of languages around the world.
* Before proposing any new microformats, make sure your website is [[POSH]], [[get-started|uses existing microformats]], and then read the [[process]].
 
This wiki has a number of enhancements to assist development and contributions to microformats. Before you start editing, see the [[wiki-2|wiki introduction page]] for instructions.
 
== Specifications ==
The list of current, stable [[microformats|Microformats]] open standard specifications.

<entry-title>Welcome to the microformats wiki!</entry-title>

Please start with the introduction page and read how-to-play before making any edits.

Introduction

This wiki is the central resource of the microformats community. You'll find current versions of published microformat specifications, specification drafts and publishing patterns. The wiki also hosts development resources, such as brainstorming pages for new formats and issue tracking pages for all current and in-development microformats.

Get Started

To get started with microformats:

Definition

Microformats are small patterns of HTML to represent commonly published things like people, events, blog posts, reviews and tags in web pages.

Microformats enable the publishing of higher fidelity information on the Web; the fastest and simplest way to provide feeds and APIs for the information in your website.

How to contribute

Do you want to help take microformats to the next level? You can:

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

The list of current, stable Microformats open standard specifications.

If you're tempted to try your hand at writing a microformat please read the process page first!

Drafts

Drafts are newer microformats, for which the specifications haven't been completed yet. Drafts are somewhat mature in the development process (see exploratory-discussions for additional efforts that are not as far along in the process). The stability of these documents cannot be guaranteed, and implementers should be prepared to keep abreast of future developments and changes. Please watch the wiki pages for updates.

  • adr - for marking up address information
  • geo - for marking up WGS84 geographic coordinates (latitude; longitude)
  • hAtom - syndicating episodic content (e.g. weblog postings)
  • hAudio
  • hListing - open, distributed listings
  • hMedia - A single media publishing format that relates to Images, Video and Audio.
  • hNews
  • hProduct
  • hRecipe - for cooking+baking recipes
  • hResume - for publishing resumes and CVs
  • hReview - hReview creator
  • rel-directory - to indicate that the destination of a hyperlink is a directory listing containing an entry for the current page
  • rel-enclosure - for indicating attachments (e.g. files) to download and cache
  • rel-home - indicate a hyperlink to the homepage of the site
  • rel-payment - indicate a payment mechanism
  • robots exclusion

Design Patterns

Design patterns are common uses of markup across microformats.

Exploratory Discussions

See: exploratory-discussions for details of research and analysis of real-world examples, existing formats, and brainstorming of possible new microformats, per the microformats process.

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:
