The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details 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 calenadar or dairy applciation. Within the hCalendar is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

  • "detend"
  • "dtstart"
  • "location"
  • "summary"
  • "vevent"

Template:Endflatlist

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

  • "geo"
  • "latitude"
  • "longitude"

Template:Endflatlist

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
