Note that:

 

The tokens in the table above 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).

 

Week number calculations are based on the ISO definition: week 1 of any year is the week that contains the first Thursday of the year.

 

The above definition means that weeks number 53 occur regularly, and that the 1st of January is often in week 53 of the previous year.

Week numbers are displayed with some special rules when used in MiniCalendars, but in week tokens the week always starts on a Monday.

 

This definition is the same as saying "week 1 is the first week that is mostly in the new year". If the week includes a Thursday then it means 4 out of 7 days of that week (the majority) are in the new year, so it is more in the new year than in the old.
