This wiki and tango.info in general uses the international date format (w:ISO 8601). This eliminates ambiguities, makes searching the site and sorting events easier. A standard date format looks like: 2006-05-01
Examples for non standard local formats:
- 01/05/06 (does it mean 2001-05-06 or 2006-01-05 or 2006-05-01?)
- 1.5.06
- 1/5/2006
- 5/1/2006
- 1.5.2006
Time intervalls are represented by start point and end point. Range formats, e.g. for events that take place on several days are constructed with "/"
examples
- 2007-06-25--26 -> start: 2007-06-25 end 2007-06-26 (two days)
- 2007-06-25--29 -> start: 2007-06-25 end: 2007-06-29 (five days)
- 2007-06-25--07-01 -> start: 2007-06-25 end: 2007-07-01 (seven days)
Instead of "/" the standard also allows "--", tango.info will consider switching to this.
