This is a small extension for the firefox browser to educate the development of inlineXBRL specification. InlineXBRL (in short iXBRL) is derived from microformats for web pages. The basic idea: the combination of visualization of information via web standards (for inlineXBRL it is XHTML1.0) with hidden syntax for XBRL information - read more here:

What you can do with this firefox extension:
After the installation firefox will automatically recognize inlineXBRL web pages. Whenever the web page has iXBRL syntax included a status bar button is active and allows to extract XBRL from the web page. By pressing the button a sidebar will show the extracted XBRL information. You can save the extraction result as XBRL instances in xml or as zip archive. The processor for the distillation is based on the inlineXBRL extractor project ((http://inlinexbrl.sourceforge.net/). This extension provides also easy overview of interim steps to do the extraction (stage1 output and stage2 output).
