Formats for which it can not work because #time returns an error or an incorrect ISO format:
{{ISO end date|01-15-2001}}
returns Error: Invalid time. (hyphens indicate DD-MM-YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number){{ISO end date|15/01/2001}}
returns Error: Invalid time. (slashes indicate MM/DD/YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number){{ISO end date|1/2001}}
returns Error: Invalid time.{{ISO end date|2001 January 15}}
returns Error: Invalid time.{{ISO end date|2001 January}}
returns 2001-01-01 (expected: 2001-01)
Use in microformats
This template also wraps the date in the dtend
classes needed by the hCalendar microformat - usually, but not always, within infobox or similar templates, or tables.
Note: due to the requirement exclusive "dtend" in hCalendar, and the accessibility problems that presents when a date is rendered (as seen without CSS) as 28 March 1999 (1999-03-29)
or even 28 February 1999 (1999-03-01)
or 31 December 1999 (2000-01-01)
, this template should not be used for whole-day dates.
