mThe HTML markup produced by this template includes an [[HCard|hCard microformat]], which makes the person's details [[Parsing|parsable]] by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of [[microformat]]s on Wikipedia, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats|the microformat project]].
=== Sub-templates ===
Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{tl|Birth date}}, {{tl|Birth date and age}}, {{tl|Birth-date}} ({{tl|bday}}), or {{tl|Birth-date and age}} ({{tl|b-da}}) are used in the infobox. ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats/dates|but do not use these if the date is before 1583]]).
To include a URL, use {{Tl|URL}}.
