Dear all,
Sarven Capadisli and I have, for the last 6 months or so, been
working on a "figure" microformat for marking up images, charts and
diagrams as part of a document.
After a lot of brainstorming by many people on the microformats wiki,
and off-site, what we've arrived at is a "port" of the HTML 5 figure
construct to earlier versions of (X)HTML. The HTML 5 figure construct
looks like this:
<figure>
<img ...>
<legend>...</legend>
</figure>
This is translated into a microformat as:
<div class="figure">
<img class="image" ...>
<p class="legend">...</p>
</div>
We've also defined various optimisations - for example, in the code
above, the 'class="image"' could be removed.
Lastly, we've defined some ways to use some existing microformats
(rel-tag, hCard and hCalendar) inside figure to mark up what the
image depicts, the credits, and some tags.
We'd appreciate your feedback on the draft specification so far -
either on this mailing list, or on the issues page.
