{{module rating|alpha}}<!-- delete if this is not desirable -->
The module “{{BASEPAGENAME}}” contains one available calls that will accept an input string and return a string that:
* for a valid date, wraps a hidden copy of the date in ISO format in a microformat
* returns the input.
== Usage ==
{{#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|parse_date|input_string}}
== Parameters ==
* Positional parameter – the value of frame.args[1] is passed after ''function name'' and vertical bar and is the string to be parsed for a valid date.
== Examples ==
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke: Parsedate | parse_date | 28 August 2013}}</nowiki></code>
will produce
{{#invoke: Parsedate | parse_date | 28 August 2013}}
- inspect the html to see the microformat.
There are several test cases at [[User:RexxS/DateDataTest]] which use extra code to illustrate the parsing.
