Yes. This is an example of the common modular use of a microformat to provide additional structure to the property value of another microformat. > The education property is a hCalendar and as such the same class > attribute should carry both "education" and "vevent".

That's correct, per the hResume schema and field details: http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume#Schema "education. optional One or more hcalendar events with the class name 'education', with an embedded hCard indicating the name of school, address of school etc." note the distinction between "... events *with* the class name 'education'" and "an *embedded* hCard indicating ... " The example given in the spec demonstrates an hCalendar event with the class name 'education': http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume#Education <ol class="vcalendar"> <li class="education vevent"> <a class="url summary" href="http://example.edu/";>Preston High School</a> (<abbr class="dtstart" title="2001-01-24">2001</abbr> - <abbr class="dtend" title="2005-05-25">2005</abbr>) </li> > Either I need to update my parser or the wiki needs some good pointers > on how properties which reused pre-existing microformat are mark-up. The above description and example are from the hResume spec on the wiki - if you have ideas for either improving those examples or more illustrative examples that would have helped, certainly add suggestions to the feedback page! http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume-feedback Thanks Glenn, Tantek -- http://tantek.com/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
