That's too bad. I've come across the same issue with Toll-Free numbers. If you come up with a good workaround, I would be interested in hearing it. Hopefully the bug in Tails will be fixed.
Even though it's not the best solution, could you make the first div in the embedded span example a div and set the display to be inline instead of block? <div>Toll-free Phone: <div class="tel"><span class="work">1-800-670-5861</span></div></div> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rickards, Julian (NDM) Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 1:31 PM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: RE: [uf-discuss] Confused about telephone numbers in hCard It gives me the same result as code block 2 below where "Toll-free Phone: " appears in the Outlook field. As Mike Kaply suggested, there may be bugs in Tails Export and maybe this suggestion should work but not in Tails.

The instructions I have read seem to suggest that all I need is to identify that a phone-number is within a class="tel", that the type must be identified (such as work) and that the value should be identified. The rest of my hCard markup (class="adr") worked fine but the phone numbers proved to be very challenging. What I am doing is trying to make my markup work in Outlook 2003 by exporting from Tails Export. I started with: <div class="tel"><abbr class="type" title="work">Toll-free Phone:</abbr> <span class="value">1-800-670-5861</span></div> but the phone entry in Outlook is empty. So I changed the <abbr> to <span> as follows: <div class="tel"><span class="work">Toll-free Phone:</span> <span class="value">1-800-670-5861</span></div> but now the entry in Outlook appears but it appears as "Toll-free Phone: 1-800-670-5861". However, I don't want "Toll-free Phone: " in the phone number field. So I changed the code to: <div>Toll-free Phone: <span class="tel"><span class="work">1-800-670-5861</span></span></div> and now it works properly but HTML Tidy gives me a warning about nested spans. So I changed it once again to combine the classes to: <div>Toll-free Phone: <span class="tel work">1-800-670-5861</span></div> but this results in an empty field in Outlook. Why is this so hard to do? ------------------------------ Julian Rickards Geoscience Data Conversion Technician Provincial Recording Office, Willet Green Miller Building, Level B3, 933 Ramsey Lake Road, Sudbury, ON P3E 6B5 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (705) 670-5861, Fax: (705) 670-5881 _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
