Robin Hello microformatters. Does anyone know of standards for class names for layout elements on HTML?
# NottRobin Hello microformatters. Does anyone know of standards for class names for layout elements in HTML? It occurs to me that many pages have a very standard layout of 1) a "squeeze" container element, 2) a header 3) a navigation 4) main content 5) footer
# NottRobin are there standards in how you mark-up those elements with class-names?

# NottRobin Yes I will use the HTML5 element names
# NottRobin I was wondering if there were more specific standards for whether <nav> goes inside <header> or out side it, or for how you should name a "container" element...
# 
voxpelli NottRobin: The HTML5-spec should define that - right? Jeremy Keiths book described it pretty well as I remember: http://html5forwebdesigners.com/semantics/index.html
# NottRobin Yeah, that explains semantic elements pretty well. Thanks. I guess there is no more specific - even draft - standard for how exactly you structure those common layout elements.
# NottRobin I was thinking someone might have defined a standard like <body><header></header><div class="content"><aside class="pre"></aside><article></article></div><footer></footer></body></div> that anyone could copy to make their document structure a bit more standard.
# voxpelli NottRobin: The closest there is within the microformats wiki that I'm aware of is the POSH patterns: http://microformats.org/wiki/posh
# NottRobin Yep that appears to aggregate a whole set of commonly held principles for semantic markup, like not using tables for layout, not using anorexic anchors etc. Unfortunately I couldn't see anything in poshformats or poshpatterns about defining layout and naming of structural elements.
# NottRobin I'll just come up with my own standard for it
# NottRobin and use it everywhere
# NottRobin and blog about it
# NottRobin that's cool. Thanks.
# NottRobin =)

# Loqi [http://twitter.com/jesperbjensen] Created myself a little code-util lib (C#) for creating hCalendar and hCard html: https://t.co/MyxESYsj - still heavy 'work in progress'.
