Template:ESDate
SummaryEdit
Displays either today's date or the date of your choice using the Elder Scrolls date format.
ParametersEdit
| Parameter | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
| showyear | optional | Specify any value to show the year as part of the date. Note that even if a year is explicitly passed, it will not be displayed unless this parameter is used. This allows you to pass a real-world date as YMD and get the correct weekday without displaying the year unnecessarily. |
| Date Styles | ||
| In the event of multiple date styles being used in the same call, the template will use the first valid one it finds, in the following order: | ||
| month day dow (year) |
optional | Specify a date using the numeric month, day, and weekday. dow should be 0 (Sundas) through 6 (Loredas). year is optional and can be any text you wish. |
| year month day |
optional | Specify a date using the numerical year, month, and day. |
| date | optional | Specify a date in an arbitrary format such as "December 16, 2024". This can be in any format accepted by PHP's strtotime() function. |
| No parameters or invalid |
Display today's date. | |
