In the usage of the Eorzean (FFXIV) calendar, you end up with expressions of dates like the following...
"the seventeenth sun of the fifth umbral moon 1577"
This can roughly be translated into the following format...
DD-MM-YYYY or 17-05-1577
This is easy enough to describe as it is here, but in many cases it's written out fully as mentioned above "the seventeenth sun of the fifth umbral moon 1577"
I'm trying to figure out how to insert this as a field like {date} when creating templates. For example a character has a journal they write in often and it would be great to automate this date function.
I've tried messing around with the Date Format field, and in the Templates interface I've gotten pretty close with this...
[The ]Do[ Sun of ]MMMM[ Moon ]YYYY
However, this doesn't seem to respect the configuration of dates in Fantasy Calander...so instead of what it should look like, we end up with this...
The 29th Sun of May Moon 2023
Was it created within the plugin, or imported from Fantasy Calendar online?
It started as a Fantasy Calendar import that I've modified heavily using the plugin directly.
