Microformats

In the wiki

The Geo microformat (along with an hCard microformat) is now automatically added to pages which use the Browse link, City or Place templates.

In the web site

The geo microformat is also added to the GPS trace pages and diary entry pages.

In your web page

<div class="geo">
 <b>lat: </b><span class="latitude">45.035</span>
 <b>lon: </b><span class="longitude">3.4567</span>
</div>
