A microsummary | A microsummary definition is a set of instructions for generating microsummaries. Definitions are expressed via an XML dialect with the namespace '''http://www.mozilla.org/microsummaries/0.1'''. A definition consists of a <definition> tag containing the following attributes and child elements: | ||
* an '''id''' attribute that uniquely identifies the definition. The recommended format for the ID attribute is @[author]/[site]/[name], where [author] identifies the developer of the definition, [site] identifies the site to which the definition applies, and [name] describes the definition, for example: '''@mozilla.org/bbc.co.uk/latest-headline'''; | * an '''id''' attribute that uniquely identifies the definition.
