This is just one interpretation, if you want a description,
then you
can add <span class="description"> around
the text you want. If you
want to also include the URL of the page as the URL in the
iCalendar
file, then you can aslo add <a class="include"
href="#fetched">

The RDATE should help "smooth out" all of those
dates in a row. There
has been a problem with some calendar applications not being
able to
import iCalendar files with RDATEs, but there isn't any
documentation
about this yet.

If you manage to put some sample markup into a live HTML
page please
send the link, it is much easier to verify, test and debug
on a URL
than text in an email.

Thanks,

Thank you. I can find no reference to rdate on the hCalendar
cheat-sheet:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-cheatsheet>

and the only reference in the supposed specification page is
in the
section "Human vs. Machine readable":

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar#Huma
n_vs._Machine_readable>

How widely supported is it? And why isn't it better
documented?

I really do think such deficiencies in the documentation
form a block to
more widespread adoption of uFs.

Incidentally, the location is "Belvide", hence my
reference to its
hCard.

It seems that neither Tails nor Operate (both extensions for
FireFox)
recognise the repeated event, nor the included URL.
