Thus, the earliest date that can be stored is "00000000000000000" (17 zeros in total).
If you create a tiddler with a field "testdate" containing the above string of zeros, and then display it using <$view field="testdate" format="date" template="[UTC]YYYY 0MM 0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss.0XXX" /> The result is: *1899 11 30 00:00:00.00* I'm not sure why this is the result, but that's what it shows. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
