Hello!

Right now, it is completely unapparent how exactly this module should be used. Moreover, references to the ISO standard require the user to actually buy (or 🏴‍☠️ YAAARRRRRRR) the pdf, thus adding insult to injury.

Thank you!

If you're not already working with ISO8601, and already have a copy of the standard, you don't need this module.

Unfortunately, I was pointed to it by the deprecation of https://hackage.haskell.org/package/time-1.12.2/docs/Data-Time-Format.html#v:iso8601DateFormat

What format do you want?

Profpatsch commented 10 months ago

Seconded, I’d guess these all have a specific formatting string format, so giving an example in the docstring would be nice. The standard is not trivial to find nor understand unfortunately.

The implementations are not straightforward to understand so examples would help.

Done.
