# Time parsing ## Time formats - mon, monday - sun, sunday - 21jan, 30dec etc - 2015-12-21 - jan, feb, etc. - Sets to first of month - now, current date and time - today, tomorrow, yesterday - at time 00:00 - sod, sow, som, soy - start of X at time 00:00 - eod, eow, eom, eoy - end of X at time 23:59 - later, someday - 2150-01-01 at time 00:00 All time formats should also support time of day, mon:15:35 and mon:1535. 24-hour format. Mind the ':', must be seperated from the attribute:value syntax. ## Duration formats - 5sec, second, seconds - 5min, minute, minutes - 5hrs, hour, hours - 3d[ays], 2w[eeks], 4m[onths], 1y[ear]. Singular if 1, plural >1 - daily, weekly, monthly (30days), yearly There is indirect support for durations everywhere that a date value is expected. No ordinal assumes 1 (hours = hrs = hour = 60min) ## Relative formats One attribute can be relative to another: `opal add Buy milk due:mon wait:due-1d`
