Template:Ordinal date/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template generates an ordinal date. Used alone as {{Ordinal date}} it will generate the ordinal date for the current year-month-day. Check the result at tycho.usno.navy.mil after purging this page.

This template may also be used to generate the ordinal date for any Gregorian calendar dates by passing the proper syntax to the following variables:

year: Any integer, as well as numeric formulas, calculations work for years in the common era and in the pre-christian era starting at year -4800 (4801 BC).

month: A positive integer from 1 through 12. Leading zeros are allowed, as well as numeric formulas.

day: A positive integer from 1 to 31. Leading zeros are allowed, as well as numeric formulas.

Examples for 15-MAR-2007 and 15-MAR-2008 (leap year):

{{ Ordinal date | year=2007 | month=03 | day=15 }} = 160

{{ Ordinal date | year=2008 | month=03 | day=15 }} = 160
