Dateish Plugin for Pelican
==========================

This plugin adds the ability to treat arbitrary metadata fields as datetime
objects.

Usage
-----

For example, if you have the following pieces of metadata in an article:

.. code-block:: markdown

# my_article.markdown
Date: 2000-01-01
Idea_Date: 1993-03-04
Important_Dates: 2013-10-12
2013-11-08
2013-12-02

Normally, the Idea_Date and Important_Dates variables will be strings, so
you will not be able to use the strftime() Jinja filter on them.

With this plugin, you define in your settings file a list of the names of
the additional metadata fields you want to treat as dates:

.. code-block:: python

# pelicanconf.py
DATEISH_PROPERTIES = ['idea_date', 'important_dates']

Then you can use them in templates just like date:

.. code-block:: html+jinja

# mytemplate.html
<p>Idea date: {{ article.idea_date | strftime('%d %B %Y') }}</p>
{% for d in article.important_dates %}
<p>Important date: {{ d | strftime('%d %B %Y') }}</p>
{% endfor %}
