Template:OldStyleDateDY/doc

Usage

This template is used for displaying a date in both Old Style and New Style, including a discreet link to the article Adoption of the Gregorian calendar, in cases where the year differs between the Old Style and the New Style.

{{OldStyleDateDY|NS day and month|NS year|OS day, month and year}}

Examples

• Usage: {{OldStyleDateDY|10 January|1706|30 December 1705}}
  • Result: 10 January 1706 [O.S. 30 December 1705]

• Usage: {{OldStyleDateDY|January 10,|1706|December 30, 1705}}
  • Result: January 10, 1706 [O.S. December 30, 1705]

Discrepancy due to the Annunciation Style of enumerating years:

• Usage: {{OldStyleDateDY|February 22,|1732|February 11, 1731}}
  • Result: February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731]
