Moon phases suffixes are used to restrict the number of quarter Moon phases displayed in a duration token suffix that is applied to the [mp] moon phase token to display a list of quarter moon phases over a period of time, as in the example below.
:cnt_XX |
the Number of Phases Suffix lets you restrict the number of Moon phases to display (where XX represents a number from 1 to 99) |
:beg_XX |
the Starting Phase Suffix lets you begin the displaying of Moon phases on the Nth phase of the period (where XX represents a number from 1 to 99).
This suffix, combined with the one above can be used to display, for example: •the first 26 phases of the year in one box • the remaining phases of the year in another box (where we use a count of 30 in the second token, to ensure we include all remaining phases of the year). |
These suffixes only work in conjunction with a duration token suffix and only support quarter phases of the Moon (not eighth phases).
See also: example of the use of duration tokens with moon phases.
