* 1st parameter – Year (optional if month is given)
** Positive number (1 to 999,999,999,999) represent years AD or BC (dependant on the fourth parameter).
** Negative numbers (−1 to −999,999,999,999) represent years BC (without the fourth parameter).
** Year numbers must not contain commas or other formatting.
* 2nd parameter – Month (optional if the day is not given either)
** Full month name – e.g. February
** Abbreviated month name – e.g. Feb
** Month number – (either zero-padded or not) e.g. 2 or 02
* 3rd parameter – Day (optional)
** Day number – (either zero-padded or not) e.g. 7 or 07
* 4th parameter – (optional)
** May be BC, AD, BCE or CE
** Used with a positive year number
|
* 1st parameter – the full date
** By default YYYY-MM-DD format becomes month-day-year format and DD-MM-YYYY format becomes day-month-year while other formats remain in the order they are input.
** Abbreviated months are accepted and are abbreviated in the output.
** Capitalisation and comma mistakes are corrected.
** A single number is interpreted as a year, otherwise the date is parsed by the module. The following formats are accepted:
*** YYYY-MM-DD
*** DD-MM-YYYY
*** DD Month YYYY
*** Month DD, YYYY
*** YYYY-MM
*** DD Month
*** Month DD
*** Month YYYY
*** YYYY
*** Month
** Day and month numbers may be 1 or 2 digits, and year numbers may only be 3 or 4 digits. If you need to input a number less than 1000, use leading zeroes (e.g. "0700").
** BC years can only be parsed if the date is only the year number.
** If you need to include the day or month for BC years or years greater than 9999, you must use separate parameters for year, month and day.
