cjk101010 implied dates as defined in value-class parsing are causing me headaches…
#
jacky Wow there's a lot of cases to cover
#
jacky I'm looking at http://microformats.org/wiki/value-class-pattern#Date_and_time_values
#
cjk101010 yeah, it's complicated… just implemented „ordinal dates.“ Why should anybody specify a date as year+day of year?

#
jacky I can't see anything immediately on that page that hints at the reasoning
#
jacky I thought it was a ISO 8601 / RFC 2822 thing but looks like it isn't

[tantek] it's an ISO 8601 thing
#
[tantek] cjk101010 better date math is the short answer

jacky that led me to https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Doomsday_rule
#
jacky and lo and behold 2020's a Doomsday year
#
jacky (if I'm misreading that, it looks every year is)
#
jacky cjk101010: I don't know if this helps but I've come across https://github.com/dashbitco/nimble_parsec#examples for Elixir if you're building a parser

cjk101010 jacky: nimble parsec is a real gold piece, have been using it in several projects. but for this I think I don't need it…
