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:
XBRL homepage: http://www.xbrl.org/SpecCRs/
Wiki Link: - [removed] -
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).
You can download the extension here.

Hi Holger,
Just installed the extension, but I couldn't find any (working) iXBRL example on the internet. Any idea's where to look?
Thanks, Jacques.
Hi Jacques,
the inlineXBRL has been change over the last months a little bit and is still a "Candidate Recommendations" specification. Therefore some old example might not work. You can find small testcases in the public svn here (if you like to see the testcases as html you have to remove the <testcase/> element from the small examples):
http://publicsvn.xbrl.org/svn/public/inline-xbrl-conformance/2009-01-21/testCases/
There is a full inlineXBRL enriched web page example of a large listed SEC company in the development svn repository available.
Hope it helps, Holger
