[LRUG] Microformats on lrug.org

Someone said something about Microformats (http://microformats.org/).

So I thought I'd have a look at sticking hCard info (
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard) onto the member page.  Except.. it's a
bit hard to do with Markdown (e.g. as far as I can tell, impossible) which
is the filter we are using on that page.  I thought about using Textile, but
can't work out the * and () voodoo I'd need to use to get <ul><li
class="vcard"> as *(vcard) gives you <ul class="vcard"><li>.  Bah!

So, a call out to all the textile / markdown users out there.  Any one know
if it can be done.

Also, the lrug.org site users Radiant CMS (http://radiantcms.org/) so a
second call goes out to the radiant cms users out there, anyone know of any
plugins for it that'll let it do microformats in a non-painful way?  There's
a microformats helper for RoR (
http://blog.labnotes.org/2006/08/25/microformats-helper-for-ruby-on-rails/)
but I don't think Radiant pages get evaluated as rhtml and thus can make use
of ruby code (anyone know any different?)

Muz

ps. Yes I *could* use raw html, but it's an awful lot of typing, and I'm
reet lazy me.

pps. Yes this e-mail probably contains more typing than it would have taken
to do the microformats in raw html, but where's the challenge in that?
