Correctly formatting hCard syntax first time, without a reference, probably means it's time for lunch! …as in: I need to get out more. :/

tantek: barnabywalters: is <img src="http://example.com/" alt="sleep" class="p-category"> intentionally supposed to result in category:['sleep'] in the h-entry?
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: according to the parsing spec, yeah
#
barnabywalters
img.p- * will look at the alt attribute
#
aaronpk
super convenient
#
aaronpk
just added it to http://aaronparecki.com/metrics on the little images of the moon/scale/etc
#
aaronpk
I wanted to add the "category" of each post, but didn't want to add any text to the entry
#
tantek
aaronpk - yes indeed
#
aaronpk
then I realized I was already showing the visual indicator of the category, so I tried adding the class to the image and it totally worked!
#
tantek
img[alt] parsing for text properties has been in microformats since near the beginning
#
tantek
it's quite hand for linked avatars of people without explicit text (text name on the alt of the img for their avatar)
#
tantek
that's great! that's exactly how microformats are supposed to work :)
#
tantek
if you're already doing the right thing in HTML, microformats should pick it up
