Module:ISOdate/doc

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

This module is intended for processing of date strings. Currently used by:

• {{ISOdate}}
• {{ISOyear}}

It relies on Module:DateI18n

ISOdate

This function is the engine behind {{ISOdate}}. Please see that template for full documentation

Usage:

should not be used directly but only through {{ISOdate}} template

Parameters:

|date=date or |1=date

a valid date in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" format; this date can be abbreviated with less fields (e.g. only the year), and leading zeroes in each numeric field may be dropped; this date may be optionally followed by a required space and any trailing text (which should be between parentheses) parsed and left as is in the ouput; if the specified date is not in a valid format, the value of this parameter will be returned as is.

|class=class

optional parameter for embedding the output within an invisible HTML <span class="class" lang="lang" dir="ltr or rtl">...</span> element with this class, also tagging the specified language and its direction (by default, use |class=dtime, as defined in microformats); set it to an empty value to remove this invisible HTML tag; this microtag is also not emitted if the given date cannot be parsed with one of the supported formats and its value will be returned as is.

|lang=lang

optional BCP 47 code of a language (not an interwiki code) used to translate the generated visible date (also used to properly tag the generated microformat, if it is generated, in the standard lang="lang" attribute of HTML)

|case=case

optional parameter for handling grammatical cases (such as genitive) in the translated date; only valid with some specific languages.

|trim_year=flag

optional parameter which allows (when it is set to a nn-empty value) to not display additional leading zeroes for years; by default or when this parameter is empty, years are rendered with at least 4 digits, padding them with zeroes as necessary.

ISOyear

This function is the engine behind {{ISOyear}}. Please see that template for full documentation

Usage:

should not be used directly but only through {{ISOyear}} template

Parameters:

1

date or 1 parameter
