Certain fields of a tiddler are used to store dates and times. TiddlyWiki supports dates from the year -9999 to the year 9999.
The two standard date fields are created
and modified
.
Values of date fields are 17 or 18-character strings:
-
to indicate a negative yearTo avoid problems arising from differences of time zone, TiddlyWiki always uses UTC.
As an example, the created
field of this tiddler has the value 20150117190213631
.
Dates can be converted to other formats for display:
<$view field="created" format="date" template="DDD DDth MMM YYYY"/>
That renders as:
Saturday 17th January 2015
