barnabywalters okay, updated repost: http://microformats.org/?p=417&preview=true
#
barnabywalters notice: do not change the editor mode from HTML to visual
#
barnabywalters using the visual editor WILL break white-space in <pre> elements on saving or switching to the HTML editor
#
tantek oh I'm not going to touch the post ;)
#
tantek looks much better!
#
tantek still seeing some <pre> overflow

#
barnabywalters indeed, fixing now
#
barnabywalters or we could just add white-space: pre-wrap to the css
#
barnabywalters okay, should all be fixed and ready to go now
#
barnabywalters posted! goodnight all
#
Loqi night

tw2113 hello, I was wondering what would be the suggested microformats and semantic markup for a documentation site
#
tantek tw2113 - start with h-entry for each page at the top
#
tw2113 k, with you so far
#
tw2113 i was thinking possibly h-review or h-product as it's documentation for some premium products and apps, but not sure those fit as well as first thought
#
barnabywalters tw2113: how do you envision people using the microformats markup on the documentation site?
#
tw2113 hmm, had yet to think of it from that type of angle
#
tw2113 I don't really have an answer for that one, I was looking towards the findability part at the moment
#
barnabywalters tw2113: what do you mean by findability?
#
tw2113 our friends the search engines
#
tw2113 it's a pretty new product suite really, only a couple months old, so hoping to help early with this
#
barnabywalters ah okay. microformats markup might slightly alter how search engines parse and display search results
#
tw2113 so far, h-entry sounds best at the moment
#
tantek h-entry is a good place to start for the whole page
#
barnabywalters e.g. google have a tool at www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets for seeing how their indexer interprets your page
#
barnabywalters yep, h-entry is a good bet if in doubt
#
tw2113 not too coincidentally, it's my adding this site to google webmasters that prompted me to start on this today
#
tw2113 so that link will prove helpful
#
barnabywalters jeez, google’s authorship tester only looks at the first link with rel=author on the page
#
tantek barnabywalters, yeah, it's pretty minimal unfortunately.
#
barnabywalters tantek: well it’s tied to googleplus and therefore ignorable anyway
#
tantek it doesn't test their full extent of support
#
tw2113 maybe if i started using their search again, the revenue I create could fund a person working on that
#
tantek e.g. rel=author to your own site instead of g+
#
tantek tw2113 :)
#
barnabywalters lol
#
tw2113 nah, DuckDuckGo is good enough for me
#
barnabywalters the nice thing about DDG is that google is only a !g away if the results aren’t as good as they could be
#
tw2113 yep
#
tw2113 thank you for your input barnabywalters and tantek, it'll get me going at least.
#
tantek tw2113 I've heard good things about DuckDuckGo from others too
#
tw2113 their bang search makes it really worth it
#
tw2113 if i want to search just Mozilla Developer Network? prepend with !mdn
#
tantek that's pretty cool
#
barnabywalters tw2113: not a problem!
#
tw2113 they take care of all the routing for you
#
tw2113 a huge list for you tantek https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html
#
barnabywalters it’s also handy for doing quick url encoding, or looking up weird characters

#
tw2113 I wonder if there's a way to get the microformats wiki listed on there
#
tw2113 may be just a case of giving them the url format for search and where to put the placeholder for the term(s)
#
tantek tw2113 that would be awesome! or indiewebcamp.com as well

@Catfish_Man @nicoleslaw I always wonder whether anyone has noticed that the contact info block is an HCard. I suspect not, they never really took off. (twitter.com/_/status/441703748813864960)
