date:convert

Converts a specific date to an epoch format integer.

Note If you take the result of date:convert and use it as an input value to date:clocklist, the specific date returned is different from the originally converted date because date:convert is 0-based for month and day values, while date:clocklist is 1-based for month and day values.

Syntax

<date:convert 
      varname="varname" 
      year="year" 
      month="month" 
      day="day" 
      [hour="hour"]
      [ampm="ampm"]
      [minute="minute"]
      [timezone="timezone"]/>
