I'd go for nested lists

ul
liheading 1
ul
liitem 1/li
...
/ul
/li
liheading 2
ul

etc...

And use h's where they are actual headings like Dave Woods suggested.

you are right about hCard not having the correct options - but you might
want to have a look at hResume - http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume -
which should be a bit more helpful :

I'm also marking up the names using hCard, and as far as I can tell,
there's no obvious option to include the qualification as part of the
hCard either.

Re: [WSG] seo / standards question

2008-04-14 Thread kevin mcmonagle
That makes good sense Matijs but it would take some work to get my cms 
to do that.

Maybe a dl would be the best comprimise?
Is there a huge difference between using that structure and a definition 
list?


-thanks

[WSG] Path semantics

2008-04-14 Thread Samuel Santos
Semantically speaking, what is the right HTML/XHTML element to represent a
path or a file name?
Would it be samp, kbd, or simply code?

Best regards,

Hi,

None of the above.

The samp tag is used to designate sample output from a program, script, etc.

The kbd tag is used to signify that the indicated text is to be typed by
the user on the keyboard.

The code tag is to enclose an example piece of code - so that the browser
knows that is not to be executed.


Depending on the circumstances, the cite tag may be appropriate.

Stuart
