View source for Template:UF-hcard-geo

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an [[HCard| hCard microformat]], which makes the place-name and location [[Parsing|parsable]] by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard 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]].
