Entering Dates
With practice, you may find it faster to enter dates by hand rather than using the
icon. You can enter dates in virtually any format:

<ul>
<li>1/4/05 8:00</li>
<li>13dec1971</li>
<li>19711213</li>
<li>December 13, 1971 17:45</li>
<li>7/15 20:45</li>
<li>x ("today")</li>
<li>xx ("yesterday")</li>
<li>today 11:30</li>
<li>x 9:23</li>
<li>yesterday</li>
<li>042330Z ("The 4th of the current month at 23:30Z")</li>
</ul>

If you omit the year, the current year will be used.
