== Simple format strings ==
= d# or d## == day (9 or 09);
= mo# or mo## == month (1 or 01) - note that it's "mo" instead of "m" which is
used to specify minutes;
= w# or w## == week number (2 or 02);
= y# or y## == year (11 or 2011) - note that for year a single hash doesn't mean
"pad to 1 digit" but "pad to 2 digits" as it makes no sense;
= s# or s## == seconds (5 or 05);
= m# or m## == minutes (2 or 02) - don't confuse with month which is "mo";
= h# or h## == hours in 12-hour format (8 or 08) - character case makes it different from "H";
= H# or H## == hours in 24-hour format (8 or 08).
=== Full date/time strings ===
= d#my or d##my == 9.01.2011 or 09.01.2011;
= d#m or d##m == without year: 9.01 or 09.01;
= h#ms or h##ms == 2:08:50 or 02:08:50 - here unlike with H## character case of
h doesn't mattern - whether to use 12-hour format or not is language-dependent anyway;
= h#m or h##m == without seconds: 2:08 or 02:08.
=== Names ===
= d_ or D_ == short day name (mon or Mon);
= d~__ or D~__ == full day name (monday or Monday);
= m_ or M_ == short month name (jan or Jan);
= m~__ or M~__ == full month name (january or January).
== Relative time - [AGO] ==
Format: AGO[ranges]
Or: AGO-SHORT[ranges]
Example: AGO[smhd] => 1 hour ago
"ago" and "after" words can be suppressed by trailing underscore: AGO[ranges]_
=== Ranges ===
1. s (seconds);
1. m (minutes) or i - it's the same;
1. h (hours);
1. d (days);
1. w (weeks);
1. o (months) - m can also be used to specify months - for this it must have
m somewhere before it ("smhdm"), be prefixed with either of d, b, w ("dm")
or be followed by y ("my").
* if you're having problems and m is mistaken for months instead of minutes use
the alias of latter (i): AGO[id] specifies minutes and days.
1. y (years).
==== Shortcut ranges ====
= t implies time ranges: smh;
= * implies all defined ranges:
= b a special range that works exactly as d unless distance between 2 dates is
3 days or shorter - in this case instead of robot-like "2 days ago" message
"yesterday" will be output. It also works with future dates: after 0 days ->
tomorrow, after 2 days -> day after tomorrow.
== IF-FAR[] and IF>n[] ==
Format: AGO[ranges]IF-FAR[normal format]
Example: AGO[smhd]IF>3[d#my, D__] => 1 hour ago OR 01/12/2011
FAR is alias to IF>n for the following ranges:
Complete list of ((#ranges range)) -> FAR numbers:
= s 60
= m 60
= h 24
= d (b) == 30
= w 4
= m 12
= y == Cannot be used - an ((#exception+s)) is thrown.
IF can be also used in following combinations:
1. AGO[...]IF[...]
1. AGO-AT[...]IF[...]
1. AGO-SHORT[...]IF[...]
1. AGO-SHORT-AT[...]IF[...]
