Another few tricks with hcards.
These guys’ details are freely available on the web, so I hope they’ll forgive me for using them as examples.
Example 1
Paul Rodgers, Editor, 6 Music
Phone: (020) 7765 4763
Email: paul.rodgers@bbc.co.uk
When someone’s email address contains their organisation’s full name, it’d be churlish to refuse the opportunity, and no little thing like lower-case letters is getting in my way.
A couple of points to note in our first example:
- Paul’s job title also includes the department he works for (well, controls, actually). That’s fab, since it lets us kill two cats with one ballbearing.
- You’ll also notice a big
orgspan, which has to encompass his department (organization-unit) and company name (organization-name) and a bunch of other stuff.- I’m hoping this is ok semantically. As I understand it, when both unit and name are specified, anything else should be ignored; and indeed, exporting to Notepad through Operator shows that it seems to have been interpreted correctly.
<p class="vcard">
<span class="org"><span class="fn n"><span class="given-name">Paul</span> <span class="family-name">Rodgers</span></span>, <span class="title role">Editor, <span class="organization-unit">6 Music</span></span><br />
Phone: <span class="tel">(020) 7765 4763</span><br />
Email: <a href="mailto:paul.rodgers@bbc.co.uk" class="email">paul.rodgers@<span class="organization-name" style="text-transform:lowercase">BBC</span>.co.uk</a></span></p>
Which creates:
Paul Rodgers, Editor, 6 Music
Phone: (020) 7765 4763
Email: paul.rodgers@BBC.co.uk
Example 2
Second example:
Robert Gallacher, Editor, Planning & Station Sound
Phone: (020) 7765 4373
Email: robert.gallacher@bbc.co.uk
And Robert’s department isn’t stated here, so we’ll just mark it up as a role, which is easier. The org span can now go just around the letters BBC:
<p class="vcard">
<span class="fn n"><span class="given-name">Robert</span> <span class="family-name">Gallacher</span></span>, <span class="title role">Editor, Planning & Station Sound</span><br />
Phone: <span class="tel">(020) 7765 4373</span><br />
Email: <a href="mailto:robert.gallacher@bbc.co.uk" class="email">robert.gallacher@<span class="org" style="text-transform:lowercase">BBC</span>.co.uk</a></p>
Which creates:
Robert Gallacher, Editor, Planning & Station Sound
Phone: (020) 7765 4373
Email: robert.gallacher@BBC.co.uk
