 This module allows non-cs1|2 templates and templates that do not wrap cs1|2 templates to have automatic date formatting according to an article's {{tlx|use dmy dates}} or {{tlx|use mdy dates}} template.  This module obeys date style (long, abbreviated, year initial) specified by the {{para|cs1-dates}} parameter.  See {{slink|Template:Use_dmy_dates|Auto-formatting_citation_template_dates}} for additional information about {{para|cs1-dates}}.
 == Usage ==
 For publication dates:
 :<code>{{<!---->{{color|#00F|#invoke}}:auto date formatter|pub_date_format|&lt;{{var|date}}>}}</code>
 For access and archive dates:
 :<code>{{<!---->{{color|#00F|#invoke}}:auto date formatter|access_archive_format|&lt;{{var|date}}>}}</code>

This module allows non-cs1|2 templates and templates that do not wrap cs1|2 templates to have automatic date formatting according to an article's {{tlx|use dmy dates}} or {{tlx|use mdy dates}} template. This module obeys date style (long, abbreviated, year initial) specified by the {{para|cs1-dates}} parameter. See {{slink|Template:Use_dmy_dates|Auto-formatting_citation_template_dates}} for additional information about {{para|cs1-dates}}.

== Usage ==
For publication dates:
:<code>{{{{color|#00F|#invoke}}:auto date formatter|pub_date_format|<{{var|date}}>}}</code>
For access and archive dates:
:<code>{{{{color|#00F|#invoke}}:auto date formatter|access_archive_format|<{{var|date}}>}}</code>
When this module is used in a template that is itself in an article that has either {{tld|use dmy dates}} or {{tld|use mdy dates}}, the above functions return <code><{{var|date}}></code> in the format specified by the {{tld|use xxx dates}} template in the style specified by {{para|cs1-dates}} if present. When the article does not have a {{tld|use xxx dates}} template, this module returns <code><{{var|date}}></code> as is.

This module uses [[Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration]] to determine the format and style to apply to dates.
