Template:ESDate/Doc

Summary

Displays either today's date or the date of your choice using the Elder Scrolls date format.

Parameters

ESDate

Parameter	Scope	Description
showyear	optional	Specify any value to show the year as part of the date. Note that even if a year is explicitly passed, it will not be displayed unless this parameter is used. This allows you to pass a real-world date as YMD and get the correct weekday without displaying the year unnecessarily.
Date Styles
In the event of multiple date styles being used in the same call, the template will use the first valid one it finds, in the following order:
month day dow (year)	optional	Specify a date using the numeric month, day, and weekday. dow should be 0 (Sundas) through 6 (Loredas). year is optional and can be any text you wish.
year month day	optional	Specify a date using the numerical year, month, and day.
date	optional	Specify a date in an arbitrary format such as "November 14, 2024". This can be in any format accepted by PHP's strtotime() function.
No parameters or invalid		Display today's date.
