Hello Andy, I didn't completely follow all of the last currency thread. (Got busy at work, and lost track of the thread.)
But here's what we are doing... Something that renders as... $5.00 Would have the markup... <abbr class="iso4217 ¤" title="CAD">$</abbr>5.00 Also... I add the following style right in there to... style="text-decoration:none;border:0;" (to make it look better). But I didn't want to add non-essential stuff in the example above, so it's not in there. Note that ¤ is the currency symbol -- ยค. See the following for more info on that symbol... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_%28typography%29 Also, the ISO 4217 specification specifies those 3 letter currency codes. I'll provide a link to it once this software upgrade launches. (It was suppose to have launched yesterday, but the in-house user testing is slowing it down. They keep on finding bugs.) But it's part of this site... http://marketplace.bell.ca/ See ya On 9/20/06, Andy Mabbett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The proposal for a 'currency' microformat, for marking-up amounts of money, seems moribund. This is unfortunate, as a number of other formats (hListing, job, hReview, book, etc.), might make use of it. I have, therefore, put up a "straw-man" proposal, at: <http://microformats.org/wiki/currency-brainstorming#Straw_man_proposal > Please feel free to critique it, and, in particular, highlight any examples for which it does not cater. -- Andy Mabbett Say "NO!" to compulsory ID Cards: <http://www.no2id.net/> Free Our Data: <http://www.freeourdata.org.uk>
