Usage
The template mat be used without any parameters, in which case it displays the current date:
{{ISO end date}}returns 2024-03-03
The template accepts one unnamed parameter containing a date in one of the following formats:
{{ISO end date|15 January 2001}}returns 2001-01-15{{ISO end date|15 Jan 2001}}returns 2001-01-15{{ISO end date|15-01-2001}}returns 2001-01-15
{{ISO end date|January 15, 2001}}returns 2001-01-15{{ISO end date|Jan 15, 2001}}returns 2001-01-15{{ISO end date|Jan. 15, 2001}}returns 2001-01-15{{ISO end date|01/15/2001}}returns 2001-01-15
{{ISO end date|January 2001}}returns 2001-01{{ISO end date|Jan 2001}}returns 2001-01
{{ISO end date|2001}}returns 2001
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.
