Examples: "late Wednesday evening, +February 14th, 2007", "at midnight, March 15th, 2007" + +The names given to each of the hours in the day can be customised by +setting the `timetable` configuration variable in ikiwiki's setup file. +The default value of this configuration value can be seen near the top of +`prettydate.pm`. Note that an hour can be left blank, to make it display the +same as the hour before. Midnight, noon, and teatime are all hardcoded, +since they do not occupy the whole hour. + +The format used for the date can be customised using the `prettydateformat` +configuration variable in the setup file. `%X` will be expanded to the +prettified time value. The default prettydateformat is `"%X, %B %o, %Y"`. + +This plugin uses the [[!cpan TimeDate]] perl module. |
