# astebr greetings - I was introduced to the microformats site recently and am not sure I'm being pointed in the right direction.
# tobyink whether it's the right direction depends on what you were looking for.
# astebr I am seeking CSS that can be used for various citation styles (ex: APA 6th) in HTML documents.
# astebr I've worked through a complex chain of LaTeX, BibTex and other libraries to generate a PDF of references, but this is quite a bit of overhead for data I already have stored in a database, and would be marking up with PHP.
# tobyink I don't think CSS is really enough to do that. CSS alone cannot re-order inline elements - e.g. author before title versus title before author.
# astebr Most of the articles referenced are from journals, and one particularly (PUBMED). There are a few exceptions, though I could handle that with scripting before applying CSS
# astebr Still a little unclear on microformats and how someone thought this would be useful in my search.
# tobyink There is at least one draft microformat for bibliographic data, but I can't see what help it would be to you either.

aaronpk why does google require ?rel=author in the query string? http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1408986
# tobyink seems bizarre.

# tobyink they might be using it to detect referers.
# 
tantek documented in the spec: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-author#extensions
# aaronpk no idea how long it will take before it starts showing up, but I passed the "rich snippets" testing tool http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
# tantek and in particular http://microformats.org/wiki/citation-brainstorming#web_citations
