NetNewsWire ExtractMicroformats Documentation

This script comes in 2 parts, the first is a custom style sheet for viewing posts in NetNewsWire. It is based off the default style sheet but adds highlighting for hcard and hcalendar content. The second is an apple script that will pass the permalink url for individual entries to the proper Technorati service to extract or subscribe to the microformat based content.

Installation

Copy the contents of the StyleSheets folder into ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/StyleSheets and copy the contents of the Scripts folder to ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/Scripts

Activation

To activate the style sheet from inside NetNewsWire go to Preferences > Browsing > News Items and choose "Extract Microformats" for the Style Sheet option.
