Microformats plugin?

Rails
1

Hi there

I’m going to add microformats in my app. I’ve googled for a while but
I can’t find any plugin/gem oriented to the creation and rendering in
templates of microformats.

I’ve seen the REST page on microformats.org but can’t find anything
more. I know that writing an implementation from scratch is pretty
trivial, but I would like to know if somewhere there’s already
something that does the job.

Thanks

Paolo

Hello Paol,

I’m going to add microformats in my app. I’ve googled for a while but
I can’t find any plugin/gem oriented to the creation and rendering in
templates of microformats.

Have a look at this plugin :
http://trac.labnotes.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/ruby/rails_plugins/microformat_helper

From the same author of the scrAPI lib :
http://rubyforge.org/projects/scrapi/
(on the other side, if you want to parse microformats stuff)

I am working on a plugin to do just this. I have nearly finished a
generator to create database models that implement the uFormat specs
and will be working on the helpers for them in a week or so… if you
can wait :slight_smile:

To be honest I was thinking too about developing yet another plugin.
My idea was to create a direct correspondence model → microformats
representation, but starting from any activerecord model since I have
to work with a legacy database.
Anyway I think the helper collection at labnotes.org pretty does the
job, and in the end I can just define a microformat partial for every
model. Well, I’ll see

Thanks
