	-- regexp hints:
	--  1) Strings starting with "^" and ending with "$" indicate whole string match

ISOdate
 
This function is the core part of the ISOdate template. 
 
Usage:
{{#invoke:ISOdate|ISOdate|target_string|lang=}}
 
Parameters:
     1: The date string 
  lang: The language to display it in
  form: Language format (genitive, etc.) for some languages
 class: CSS class for the <time> node

 Error Handling:
   If the string does not look like it contain the proper ISO date than the function will return the original string.
   
   That is the preferred treatment for the template:Information (and similar templates) which calling it.

		args.case,                  -- allows to specify grammatical case for the month for languages that use them
		args.class or 'dtstart',    -- allows to set the html class of the time node where the date is included. 
		args.trim_year or '100-999' -- by default pad one and 2 digit years to be 4 digit long, while keeping 3 digit years as is	
	)

--[[
ISOyear
 
This function returns year part of date string.
 
Usage:
{{#invoke:ISOdate|ISOyear|target_string}}
 
Parameters
    1: The date string 
 
Error Handling:
   If the string does not look like it contain the year than the function will not return anything.
   That is the preferred treatment for the template:Creator which is the main (only?) template calling it.
