datetime attribute: del datetime, ins datetime
The datetime attribute on the del element:
The datetime attribute on the ins element:
- allows you to specify the date and optionally the time when you marked the content as inserted
Steps
the date must be a valid date string:
YYYY-MM-DD
year-month-day
2013-03-23
the time must be a valid time string:
hh:mm:ss
hour:minutes:seconds
09:14:13
between date and time can be: space or T
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
OR
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
add time zone:
a) using Z (if time zone is UTC):
Z = Zulu Time = UTC Time = GMT Time (Greenwich Mean Time) = the time at the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude)
cities that use Z time: London, Dublin, Edinburgh...
b) or using + or -: for GMT+⁄UTC+ or GMT-⁄UTC-
EXAMPLES:
You made a change on 29 of March, 2013, at 9AM and 00 minutes and you are:
A) in London (uses UTC → we will use Z) or in places that use London time, then you can write it like this:
using Z:
datetime="2013-03-29T09:00Z" which means 9AM in London
datetime="2013-03-29 09:00Z" which means 9AM in London
B) elswhere, e.g. Berlin: Berlin is 1h EST of Z (Greenwich) → GMT+1 (UTC+1), then you can write it like this:
using + :
datetime="2013-03-29T09:00+01:00" which means 9AM in Berlin, CET time zone
datetime="2013-03-29 09:00+01:00" which means 9AM in Berlin, CET time zone
datetime="2013-03-29T09:00+02:00" which means 9AM in Berlin, CEST time zone (during DST = daylight saving time)
datetime="2013-03-29 09:00+02:00" which means 9AM in Berlin, CEST time zone (during DST = daylight saving time)
C) elswhere, e.g. Azores Islands: Azores is 1h WEST of Z (Greenwich) → GMT-1 (UTC-1), then you can write it like this:
using - :
datetime="2013-03-29T09:00-01:00" which means 9AM in Azores, AZOST time zone
datetime="2013-03-29 09:00-01:00" which means 9AM in Azores, AZOST time zone
datetime="2013-03-29T09:00" which means 9AM in Azores, Azore time (during DST = daylight saving time)
datetime="2013-03-29 09:00" which means 9AM in Azores, Azore time (during DST = daylight saving time)

| 00:00 | video tutorial: datetime attribute on del and ins elements |
| 00:05 | datetime attribute allows you to specify the date and optionally the time when you marked the content as inserted or deleted |
| 00:12 | the date: must be a valid date string: YYYY-MM-DD the time: must be a valid time string: hh-mm-ss |
| 00:17 | taking this example: let's add datetime to del element; in the same way can be done for ins element also |
| 00:26 | date: YYYY-MM-DD stands for: year-month-day |
| 00:33 | space or T between date and time if you decide to add the time too |
| 00:37 | time: hh:mm:ss stands for: hour:minutes:seconds |
| 00:46 | if you're on London time, you can use Z as Z = Zulu Time = UTC Time = GMT Time (Greenwich Mean Time) |
| 00:51 | if you're NOT on London time, you could use + or - : + for GMT+x where x = hours Est of Greenwich, or Z - for GMT-x where x = hours West of Greenwich, or Z |
| 00:57 | example: -01:00 means GMT-1 → you could be in Azores Islands |
| 01:03 | example: +01:00 means GMT+1 → you could be in Berlin |
