 \section{\class{wxDateSpan}}\label{wxdatespan}
 
-The documentation for this section has not yet been written.
+This class is a "logical time span" and is useful for implementing program
+logic for such things as "add one month to the date" which, in general,
+doesn't mean to add $60*60*24*31$ seconds to it, but to take the same date
+the next month (to understand that this is indeed different consider adding
+one month to Feb, 15 -- we want to get Mar, 15, of course).
+
+When adding a month to the date, all lesser components (days, hours, ...)
+won't be changed unless the resulting date would be invalid: for example,
+Jan 31 + 1 month will be Feb 28, not (non-existing) Feb 31.
+
+Because of this feature, adding and subtracting back again the same
+wxDateSpan will {\bf not}, in general give back the original date: Feb 28 - 1
+month will be Jan 28, not Jan 31!
+
+wxDateSpan objects can be either positive or negative. They may be
+multiplied by scalars which multiply all deltas by the scalar: i.e.
+$2*(1 \hbox{ month and } 1 \hbox{ day})$ is $2$ months and $2$ days. They can
+be added together and with \helpref{wxDateTime}{wxdatetime} or 
+\helpref{wxTimeSpan}{wxtimespan}, but the type of result is different for each
+case.
+
+Beware about weeks: if you specify both weeks and days, the total number of
+days added will be $7*\hbox{weeks} + \hbox{days}$! See also GetTotalDays()
+function.
+
+Equality operators are defined for wxDateSpans. Two datespans are equal if
+and only if they both give the same target date when added to {\bf every}\rtfsp
+source date. Thus wxDateSpan::Months(1) is not equal to wxDateSpan::Days(30),
+because they don't give the same date when added to 1 Feb. But
+wxDateSpan::Days(14) is equal to wxDateSpan::Weeks(2)
+
+Finally, notice that for adding hours, minutes and so on you don't need this
+class at all: \helpref{wxTimeSpan}{wxtimespan} will do the job because there
+are no subtleties associated with those (we don't support leap seconds).
