;;; Commentary:

;; Unformatted vcards are just plain ugly.  But if you live in the MIME
;; world, they are a better way of exchanging contact information than
;; freeform signatures since the former can be automatically parsed and
;; stored in a searchable index.
;;
;; This library of routines provides the back end necessary for parsing
;; vcards so that they can eventually go into an address book like BBDB
;; (although this library does not implement that itself).  Also included
;; is a sample pretty-printer which MUAs can use which do not provide their
;; own vcard formatters.

;; This library does not interface directly with any mail user agents.  For
;; an example of bindings for the VM MUA, see vm-vcard.el available from
;;
;;    http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/index.html#mail
;;
;; Updates to vcard.el should be available there too.

;; The main entry point to this package is `vcard-pretty-print' although
;; any documented variable or function is considered part of the API for
;; operating on vcard data.

;; The vcard 2.1 format is defined by the versit consortium.
;; See http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcard-21.ps
;;
;; RFC 2426 defines the vcard 3.0 format.
;; See ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2426.txt

;; A parsed vcard is a list of attributes of the form
;;
;;     (proplist value1 value2 ...)
;;
;; Where proplist is a list of property names and parameters, e.g.
;;
;;     (property1 (property2 . parameter2) ...)
;;
;; Each property has an associated implicit or explicit parameter value
;; (not to be confused with attribute values; in general this API uses
;; `parameter' to refer to property values and `value' to refer to attribute
;; values to avoid confusion).  If a property has no explicit parameter value,
;; the parameter value is considered to be `t'.  Any property which does not
;; exist for an attribute is considered to have a nil parameter.

;; TODO:
;;   * Finish supporting the 3.0 extensions.
;;     Currently, only the 2.1 standard is supported.
;;   * Handle nested vcards and grouped attributes?
;;     (I've never actually seen one of these in use.)
;;   * Handle multibyte charsets.
;;   * Inverse of vcard-parse-string: write .VCF files from alist
;;   * Implement a vcard address book?  Or is using BBDB preferable?
;;   * Improve the sample formatter.
