Module talk:time

Testing for a., c., and p.
Hi,. I was wondering if you can tweak the module so that it tests for the presence of a., c., or p. before a year (e.g., a. 2017). If so, then the module should display the following: The idea is to replicate the effect of, , and , in the sense that the abbreviation is not in bold. — SMUconlaw (talk) 15:12, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * a. 2017
 * c. 2017
 * p. 2017

This is what I did at :. — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:28, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added code to detect those abbreviations at the beginning of the year parameter. It has the html tag to mark it as an abbreviation, and a tooltip. I should probably add italics though. — Eru·tuon 18:33, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Yes, please add the italics if you can. Also, I suggest that the tooltips say "ante", "circa" and "post" rather than the less-helpful "Appendix:Glossary". — SMUconlaw (talk) 19:44, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added italics. The tooltip was wrong because of the link; it might be fixed now. — Eru·tuon 01:25, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Yup, the tooltips appear to be working fine. Thanks! — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:51, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

I thought it would be nice to update, and  with what you have done here at "Module:time", so that the tooltip displayed is "ante", "circa" and "post" instead of "Appendix:Glossary", and the abbreviation has a dotted underline. However, I can't seem to find a way to do this using HTML, wikitext or even. — SMUconlaw (talk) 11:35, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Updating the module for use with "Template:cite-meta"

 * just a thought – can you update this module so that it works for as well? The main formatting difference between  and  is that in  the date does not appear in boldface. (It also does not occur at the start of the quotation, but its position is not controlled by this module.) — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

To fix: dates without a day of the month
