Year, month and day
rættaTo use, type:
{{age in days|year1|month1|day1|year2|month2|day2}}
(number of days between dates 1 and 2), {{age in days|year1|month1|day1}}
(number of days since date 1) or {{age in days||||year2|month2|day2}}
(number of day until date 2)
Or with named parameters:
{{age in days|month1= |day1= |year1= |month2= |day2= | year2= }}
(number of days between dates 1 and 2), {{age in days|month1= |day1= |year1= }}
(number of days since date 1) or {{age in days|month2= |day2= | year2= }}
(number of day until date 2)
Examples:
{{age in days|2007|5|24|2008|4|23}} |
gives 335 |
{{age in days|2007|5|24}} |
gives 6343 |
Sorting
rættaBy adding |sortable=on
a sort key will be added to the output for use in sortable tables. The sort key is produced by {{nts}} and is based on the SI unit of time (the second).
Formatting
rættaThree styles of formatting are possible.
|format=raw
gives unformatted numbers with hyphens as minus signs[1] (for use in further calculations). |format=commas
gives numbers formatted with commas (using {{formatnum:}}
) and true minus signs.|format=gaps
gives numbers formatted with thin spaces (using {{val}}) and true minus signs.
For reasons of retrospective compatibility, the default when inputting dates as year, month and day is |format=raw
; however when inputting dates in full it is |format=commas
.
- Note
- ↑ Negative days will occur if the first date is after the second.
Showing the unit
rættaThe default is not to show units. To show the unit ("day", days" or "d") use |show unit=
.
|show unit=abbr
adds "d" after the number of days. |show unit=full
adds "day" or "days" after the number of days as appropriate.
Rounding
rættaThe template rounds down to the nearest number of full days.
Time zones
rættaAs noted above, date parameters left undefined default to their current value. Note that this is the current UTC value. Instead of leaving the parameter blank, however, an offset may be added, for example, {{age in days|28 December 2007|+ 5 hours 45 min}}
will give the number of days since the king of Nepal was deposed. Note that this will only work when entering full dates (e.g. {{age in days|2007|12|28|+ 5 hours 45 min}}
will produce an error message).
