This class provides helper utilities to display, sort, and select attributes from a date in the CSL format.

csl_date(
  date_parts = list(),
  season = NULL,
  circa = NULL,
  literal = NULL,
  raw = NULL,
  edtf = NULL
)

csl_dates(x = list())

Arguments

date_parts

A range of dates can be specified by providing two dates, where the first date is the start and second date is the end of the interval.
