== Usage ==

This module is intended for processing of date strings. It is used by [[Module:WikidataIB]]

==Complex date==
This function is the engine behind [[c:template:Complex date]]. Please see that template for full documentation

====Usage:====
:should not be used directly but only through [[c:Template:Other date]] and other templates
:<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Complex_date|complex_date|adj1=|date1=|era1=|precision1=|conj=-|adj2=|date2=|era2=|precision2=|lang=}}</nowiki></code>
or
:<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Complex_date|complex_date|1=|2=|3=|era=|lang=}}</nowiki></code>

====Parameters (simple syntax):====
;1
:option. See [[c:Template:Other date]]
;2
:date #1
;3
:date #2

====Parameters (advanced syntax):====
;conj
: in case the link between the two dates: "-" (from-until), between, or, and  (see [[c:template:Complex date]])
;adj1, adj2
: adjectives and prepositions used to describe single date. Possible values: ''early'', ''mid'', ''late'', ''spring, summer, fall, winter, 1st half, 2nd half, 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter'', etc. used for describing which part of date1 and date2 are involved (see [[c:template:Complex date]])
;date1, date2
: the dates involved. Format: Number or whatever {{tl|ISOdate}} takes.
;precision1, precision1
: usually ''year'' or more precise (default), but can also be ''decade'', ''century'' or ''millennium'',  then the dates involved are centuries or millennia rather than specific dates
;era1, era2
: the eras that those dates are from (see [[c:template:Complex date]])  If parameter <code>era</code> is present, it overrides these two parameters.

The internationalization of the date formats can be found at [[Module:I18n/complex date]]

==Dependencies==
[[Module:Complex_date]] relies on the following modules:
* [[Module:Calendar]] (lazy loading with no dependencies)
* [[Module:ISOdate]]
** [[Module:DateI18n]] (no dependencies)
*** [[Module:No globals]] (from en.wikipedia)
* [[Module:i18n/complex date]]
** [[Module:Ordinal-cd]] (lazy loading)
*** [[Module:I18n/ordinal]] (no dependencies)
*** [[Module:Yesno]] (from en.wikipedia) (no dependencies)
*** [[Module:Formatnum]] (no dependencies)
** [[Module:Roman-cd]] (lazy loading with no dependencies)
** [[Module:Linguistic]] (lazy loading with no dependencies)
*** [[Module:No globals]] (from en.wikipedia)
Several of the lazy-loaded dependencies do not exist locally since none of the code that calls them ever ends up used on the English Wikipedia.
