Hi List,

Another newbie question: I'm marking up my CV using hResume, and I'm a little uncertain about how best to combine hCard and hCalendar classes to mark up experience.[1] Right now, I'm using the following markup:

<dl class="experience vevent">
<dt class="summary vcard"><span class="title">Web Developer</span>, <a class="url org" href="http://chnm.gmu.edu";>Center for History and New Media</a></dt>
        <dd>
<p class="time"><abbr class="dtstart" title="20051215">December 2005</abbr>-present</p>
        </dd>
</dl>

So, the <dl> starts the "experience" and "vevent." the <dt> is both the "summary" of the vevent and the start of the hCard. Finally, the <dd> is the "description" of the vevent, and includes the events start and end times.

Is this a correct way of marking this up? Are there better options? I want to make sure I have the uses of hCard and hCalendar correct, with regards to hResume.

Also, you may notice I didn't mark up "present" as the dtend of the event. Are there established ways of marking up "present," or the present date, with hCalendar? Some of the resume examples[2] either don't use dtend at all, or use it for "present", but give it title values that aren't the *present* date. I imagine you could use <?php date('Ymd'); ?> to spit out the current date, but that might be problematic too, as it implies a specific end date. Alternatively, Sajid Saiyed's resume uses <abbr title="Present">Present</abbr>.[3]

Thanks!
Jeremy
