@section datetime_formatting Date Formatting and Parsing
The date formatting and parsing functions convert wxDateTime objects to and
ParseFormat() which can parse any date in the given (rigid) format.
ParseRfc822Date() is another function for parsing dates in predefined
format -- the one of RFC 822 which (still...) defines the format of email
- messages on the Internet. This format can not be described with
+ messages on the Internet. This format cannot be described with
@c strptime(3)-like format strings used by Format(), hence the need for a
separate function.
in 'free' format, i.e. allow them to be specified in any of possible ways.
These functions will usually be used to parse the (interactive) user input
which is not bound to be in any predefined format. As an example,
- ParseDateTime() can parse the strings such as "tomorrow", "March first" and
+ ParseDate() can parse the strings such as "tomorrow", "March first" and
even "next Sunday".
Finally notice that each of the parsing functions is available in several
