The Microformats cheat sheet is designed to be printed on an A4 sheet of paper and live by a designer or developer's desk, to make life a bit easier. A description of what is on the cheat sheet follows, or if you are impatient, you can go straight to the full size Microformats cheat sheet.
This cheat sheet can be downloaded using a bittorrent client like uTorrent, Azureus or Opera. Please utilise this option if possible - the cheat sheets consume large amounts of bandwidth!
If bittorrent is not an option for you, the cheat sheets can also be downloaded directly from the site.
Further information on Microformats and their specifications can be found at microformats.org.
