Hi Tom,
Is anyone aware of any other programme guides which have employed the
hCalendar microformat to date? I note that this doesn't seem to have
been acheived in the current BBC listings.
We've got hCalendar on all of Yahoo's UK TV listings:
• http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/listings/2008-07-11/20-30/
• http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/listings/2008-07-11/20-30/by-hour/
• http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/listings/bbc-1/2008-07-11/
We implemented it using a somewhat icky hack (an empty ABBR element
with the ISO date in the title), but it parses in most parsers whislt
not exposing the ISO date as a tooltip to browsers. Most recent
testing suggests that it will still be revealed in screen readers set
to read ABBR titles though, which is unfortunate.
Oh, there's a bug in our output that's putting a translation string
(%z) into the ISO date where the timezone should go. That'll be fixed
shortly!
