514 Ignored words
516 In writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words
517 that are typically not important.
518 There is frequently a word that appears in a phrase to designate
520 that a time is going to be specified next. In English, you would
521 use the word AT in the example:
522 December 3 at 12:00
524 The following words may be used:
526 at
528 Another word is used to designate one member of a set. In English,
530 you would use the words IN or OF:
531 1st day OF December
533 1st day IN December
534 The following words may be used:
536 of
538 in
539 Another word is use to specify that something is on a certain date.
541 In English, you would use ON:
542 ON July 5th
544 The following words may be used:
546 on
548 Words that set the date, time, or both
550 There are some words that can be used to specify a date, a time, or
551 both relative to now.
552 Words that set the date are similar to the English words
554 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'. These are specified as a delta which is
555 added to the current time to get a date. The time is NOT set
556 however, so the delta is only partially used (it should only
557 include year, month, week, and day fields).
558 The following words may be used:
560 ereyesterday -0:0:0:2:0:0:0
562 overmorrow +0:0:0:2:0:0:0
563 today 0:0:0:0:0:0:0
564 tomorrow +0:0:0:1:0:0:0
565 yesterday -0:0:0:1:0:0:0
566 Words that set only the time of day are similar to the English
568 words 'noon' or 'midnight'.
569 The following words may be used:
571 midnight 00:00:00
573 noon 12:00:00
574 Words that set the entire time and date (relative to the current
576 time and date) are also available.
577 In English, the word 'now' is one of these.
579 The following words may be used:
581 now 0:0:0:0:0:0:0
583 Hour/Minute/Second separators
585 When specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a
586 colon (:) which can be used for both separators.
587 Some languages use different pairs. For example, French allows you
589 to specify the time as 13h30:20, so it would use the following
590 pairs:
591 : :
593 [h] [:]
594 The first column is the hour-minute separator and the second column
596 is the minute-second separator. Both are perl regular expressions.
597 A pair of colons is ALWAY allowed for all languages. If a language
599 allows additional pairs, they are listed here:
600 Not defined in this language
