Dates of the Hindu lunar calendar are displayed using the following tokens:
[hid] [hid] |
Hindu Lunar day (1-30 and 01-30) of the Hindu lunar month and correspond to [d] and [dd]. |
[him] [him] |
Hindu Lunar month number (1-12 and 01-12) and correspond to [m] and [mm]. |
[himmm] [hiMmm] [hiMMM] |
The short form of the Hindu lunar month name and correspond to [mmm], [Mmm] and [MMM]. |
[himmmm] [hiMmmm] [hiMMMM] |
The full Hindu lunar month name and correspond to [mmmm], [Mmmm] and [MMMM]. |
[hiYY] [hiYYYY] |
The Hindu Lunar year number and correspond to [yy] and [yyyy]. |
Note that the prefix "s" can be used to conditionally show the Hindu Lunar day or month tokens, and that Q++Studio can also automatically calculate holidays based on the Hindu lunar Calendar.
Additional tokens, specific to the Hindu Lunar calendar, are the Hindu Lunar Day name tokens:
[hiddd] [hiDdd] [hiDDD] |
Show the short form of the Hindu Lunar day name, with varying case. |
[hidddd] [hiDddd] [hiDDDD] |
Show the full Hindu Lunar Lunar day name, with varying case. |
While the above tokens look like the usual weekday tokens, is important to note about these Lunar day name tokens span the entire lunar month, not just a week. Their translations must therefore span the range of indices from 1 to 30, where index 15 corresponds to the full moon and index 30 to the new moon.
Often the translations for the indices 1-14 will be the same as those for the indices 16-29, however 30 different translations are used to allow you to specify a text modified to indicate whether the moon is waxing (indices 1-14) or waning (indices 16-29), a distinction which is often used in Hindi diaries.
