Similar to hCard, the hCalendar (hCal for short) microformat is based on the iCalendar Internet calendaring standard, and can be used to publish event information in a manner that users can easily copy or subscribe to using an hCalendar-to-iCalendar proxy service:
<divclass="vevent"> <divclass="summary">O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference</div> <abbrclass="dtstart"title="20050306">Mar 6</abbr>- <abbrclass="dtend"title="20050310">9, 2006</abbr> <divclass="location">Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA</div> <aclass="url"href="http://events.oreilly.com/pub/e/403">Permalink</a> </div>
Note the use of the abbr element to present an abbreviated human-readable date and represent a precise machine-readable ISO 8601 date in the title attribute. For a complete list of hCalendar class names, more hCalendar details, and hCalendar proxy services, see the hCalendar specification at http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar.
