Template:MC/MONTHNUMBER

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible) [view] [edit] [history] [refresh]

Template:Documentation header This template returns the cyclic integer month number (between 1 and 12) of the month whose real number is in parameter. Alternatively, the month can be given with its English name (complete or abbreviated to 3 characters, with capitals or small letters).

Usage

Does not play nicely with "subst:"

Syntax:: {{MONTHNUMBER|month}}

The month value is interpreted modulo 12 (extra leading zeroes are ignored, negative numbers are accepted, all numbers are rounded to floor).
If the month name is unspecified, it defaults to the current month.
