There are several things to look out for... i'll answer a few, then suggest we move this to the mf-dev list if there are more specific questions. 1) the portion of the XPATH: contains(@class, 'description') will fail if there is 'descriptions' (plural) because this is only looking for the string

[uf-discuss] Automated microformat parsing using XPath

2006-08-09 Thread Matt Augustine
I have written simple parsers for hCard and hCal in javascript that use XPath to parse the microformat properties from an arbitrary xhtml document. In general, for each known property I have code like this: node = document.evaluate("//*[contains(@class, 'vevent')]//*[contains(@class, 'description

Hey All. I've got lists (well tables) of hCard data in my new website (example: http://www.whereareyoucamping.com/people/list ). X2V converts these pages to one .vcf file that contains several files. When trying to import that file to Outlook (either 2k3 or 2k7 beta) only the first one is ever imp

2006-08-09 Thread brian suda
The other option is to double-up on the dtstart property. Because dtstart is required you can easily do something like: September 1, 1997 this works well when the dtstamp and the start are the same thing, although it is not always true. -brian Matt Augustine wrote: > I need to make sure that t

[uf-discuss] dtstamp in hCal

2006-08-09 Thread Matt Augustine
I need to make sure that the hCal microformats I publish can be easily converted into iCal format that is readable by Outlook.  Since Outlook requires the DTSTAMP property, I have to include dtstamp in the hCal.  Some of the examples at http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-brainstorming repres

Hi Chris, I totally agree. Tantek and I were talking about this at Wordcamp -- how people don't really "get" microformats until they see them in action. I marked up a sidebar calendar on my blog with the event microformats and want to use that as one case study. I am sure there are many others.
