Tokens > Month Tokens

Month tokens are used to display information about the month corresponding to the date of a token.

Below is a chart of the main tokens used to display month information, and some links to topics with additional information. Note that:

•The tokens in the table below refer to dates of the Gregorian calendar (ie. the standard Western calendar). There are also tokens that allow you to display dates based on the Chinese, Jewish, Korean, Muslim and Orthodox calendars.

•Values that are language dependent, are displayed below using the most commonly used English translation. The actual results that you will get will depend on the language selected, and the translation specified in the Tokens and Translations Manager).
