Hi all,
Hi Stephanie,
I am hoping to convert a few of my clients contact pages into microformats soon and I have been searching for a way to avoid duplicating the organization's contact information (which is listed at the top of the page) in the vcard (hcard?) of every person on the page. I remember hearing about a way using object tags on the list a few weeks ago but my searches of the archives and the wiki have been fruitless. If someone could point me in the right direction, or better yet provide an example (I find the wiki a little hard to read) I would be grateful!
The include pattern[1] is what you're looking for. That particular page appears to be quite nicely padded out with examples, which should hopefully make things pretty clear: failing that, I'm sure one of the more experienced list members should be able to explain things more clearly than I can.
Also, since I'm asking n00b questions: What is the difference between vcard and hcard and what is the proper use of each? Am I marking up my websites with vcards or hcards?
vCard[2] is a file format for exchanging contact information; hCard[3] is a mapping of this format onto class names in HTML/XHTML/XML. Therefore you are marking up your websites with hCards.
