Markup for menucard?

[Samuel van Laere]

Hello there humans at alt.html,

i've been here a couple of times in the last couple of years.
Most of the time i've just been wasting your time,
since the great Google (not Gonzo) knows all the answers anyway.
But finally the great one couldn't provide me with a good answer
so I was forced to return here, back to my roots..
Last time I was here there where a couple of man and woman
with great knowledge. Once more I need your knowledge!

Oke here's the deal.
Everywhere on the web you'll find restraurants websites,
and in a lot of cases they provide online menucards.
I need to create a menucard to, but wonder what would be the best semantic
markup to use.
In my case the menucard looks similar like this:

Main Dishes
foodtype discription price

Drinks
type discription price

It seems a job for a table, but perhaps there's better way?
Advise me, teach me but please do not kick me.
If needed I can provide an image location of the menucard that needs to be
done in HTML.
But for all I know i'm wasting once again you time.

Kind regards and much respect,
Samuel van Laere

I'd say it's a table alright, so use a table. It is made for tabulated
data, which a menu obviously is.

The inside of a menu mostly resembles a table

If there is a specific layout that you have to copy
than maybe a table is not the best way

We'd need to see the original.

But for all I know i'm wasting once again you time.

Don't worry,
we'll feed you to Yukka.

Agreed, it would be my first choice to use.

Its funny you mentioned Yukka though,
it happens I need to present an address with HTML.
the <address> element seems most logical.
But Yukka offers other methods to:

What is the best choice in general??

Cheers,

Yeah, tables.....
although the background-image for Nagerechten might be a problem
if it has to be 100% alike.

He is offering a recommendation too.

Veel plezier!

There may be, but in the meantime, use the obvious tool for the job, a
table.

Advise me, teach me but please do not kick me.

I'm sorry but this is unreasonable. This is the price for advice here.
Now, please say where exactly your head is so the boots do not have to
kick wildly in an undirected way. It is in your own interest to get the
beating over quickly and efficiently.

Yes, you are wasting our time. Our time is very very precious. We are
soon to employ some ... ahem ... secretaries ... as intermediaries. As
in the entrance to Hades:

Right before the entrance, in the very jaws of Orcus,
Grief and vengeful Care have made their beds,
and pallid Sickness lives there, and sad Old Age,
and Fear, and persuasive Hunger, and vile Need,
forms terrible to look on, and Death and Pain:
then Death¹s brother Sleep, and Evil Pleasure of the mind,
and, on the threshold opposite, death-dealing War,
and the steel chambers of the Furies, and mad Discord,
her snaky hair entwined with blood-wet ribbons.
In the centre a vast shadowy elm spreads its aged trunks
and branches: the seat, they say, that false Dreams hold,
thronging, clinging beneath every leaf.
And many other monstrous shapes of varied creatures,
are stabled by the doors, Centaurs and bi-formed Scylla,
and hundred-armed Briareus, and the Lernean Hydra,
hissing fiercely, and the Chimaera armed with flame,
Gorgons, and Harpies, and the triple bodied shade, Geryon.

Main Dishes
foodtype discription price

Drinks
type discription price

As well as the table options already mentioned, if there weren't prices
you might use a dl.

As you presented the generality here, yeah table seems appropriate.
But is it really going to be presented that way?

The menus I prefer have the "name" in bold on line 1.
Line 2 then shows a picture, then a brief description with options.
Line 2 might also include the price.

I think maybe a simple division for each entry might suffice.
Split each entry division into two cells for the image and
description.

For simpler menus, without images, tables would be appropriate.

Well just the date, no images are needed though it might be cool to use
images to.

Well since there only be data and no images, tables will do fine i think.
