View source for Template:UF-hcal-geo

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an [[hCalendar|hCalendar microformat]], which makes the event details [[parsing|parsable]] by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. Within the hCalendar is a [[Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat]], which additionally makes the [[geographic coordinate system|coordinates]] (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a [[Global Positioning System|GPS]] unit. For more information about the use of [[microformat]]s on Wikipedia, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats|the microformat project]].

Dates will only be included if you use {{tl|Start date}} or {{tl|End date}} (use the former for single dates, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats/dates|but do not use any of these if the date is before 1583 CE]]). {{tl|End date}} requires that a time be specified, but display of this time may be suppressed by adding {{para|nodate|yes}} to the end.

To include a URL, use {{tl|URL}}.

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

{{Flatlist/microformat|indent=1|
*attendee
*dtend
*dtstart
*location
*summary
*url
*vevent
}}

Geo is produced by calling {{tl|coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

{{Flatlist/microformat|indent=1|
*geo
*latitude
*longitude
}}

'''Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.'''<br/>Also, when giving coordinates, please don't be [[wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Precision|overly precise]].
