Some notes on styling suggestions for microformats specs.
by Tantek
start with w3c manual of style
In general, a lot has been adapted from the W3C manual of style and that is a good reference to start with.
Some specific changes:
affiliation
The W3C manual of style section on editors provides some good guidelines for affiliations. We make the following explicit changes from their guidelines:
- focus on the people not organizations. To better attribute editorship/authorship to individual people (rather than their organizations), microformats specs put affiliations in parentheses.
- explicit hCard markup. We have begun marking up the editor(s)/author(s) of microformats specs with hCard.
The hCard spec itself provides a good example of both of these points:
- Editor
- Tantek Çelik (http://tantek.com/, and before at Technorati, Inc., and at Microsoft Corporation)
- Authors
- Tantek Çelik (affiliations above)
- Brian Suda (http://suda.co.uk/)
examples
Currently the hCard and hResume specifications have perhaps the most updated/modern use of styling among microformats specifications. Look at those two as an example of what to mimic.
