Microformats

Microformats are open formats that are designed to allow the unique naming of frequently used website elements (calendar, virtual visiting cards, addresses etc.).

Some of the advantages of Micro formats are:

  • Unique and consistent naming of elements
  • Linking and re-use of data
  • Platform-specific and flexible presentation of data
  • Better structured code

The Firefox Extension Tails Export allows you to view micro formats embedded in a web page.
