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

microformats are extensions to HTML for marking up people, organizations, events, locations, blog posts, products, reviews, resumes, recipes etc.

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.

Get Started

Main article: get-started

Get started with microformats:

  • First, make sure your pages and applications use semantically rich, descriptive, ‘POSH’ HTML.
  • Mark-up your contact information with hCard (authoring tips, examples) and link from your personal site to your other profiles with rel-me.
  • Have questions? Read the frequently asked questions, join the IRC channel and ask questions.
  • Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats events.

Definition

Main article: what-are-microformats

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

Microformats are the fastest and simplest way to provide an API to the data and information in your website. See what else you can do with microformats.

Drafts

Drafts are newer microformats, which are still making their way through the process to become specifications. Implementers should be prepared to keep abreast of future developments and changes. Please watch the wiki pages for updates.

  • adr - address location information

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

Exploratory Discussions

Main article: exploratory-discussions

New: microformats 2 has sufficiently stabilized to start using on public web pages and developing parsers and applications.

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.

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and exploratory discussions which have either lacked (or lost) wide publishing support, implementation, or have been superceded by newer specs (see also when does it make sense to demote a microformat spec).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:
