Jan, Evans formulae plugin has a rich set of date tools but I do not know it it would be any lighter.
As long as you take dates back to a format you can make use of, such as the tiddlywiki serial number or say 0YYYY0MM0DD0MM its fairly easy to parse and reformat date strings now. Dates before 1900 may be best handled seperately. *What are the formats you would like to move between?* You could have a reference date then treat dates (numbers) before or after a particular date differently eg <1 BC <-100,000 in epochs Regards Tony On Monday, 24 August 2020 00:15:02 UTC+10, Jan wrote: > > Hello everyone, hello Eskha in particular..., > > Two years ago I asked two questions about the vis.js-timeline > > -Could we get the plugin to parse more than one date format?
