Template:Date serial/doc

This template returns the date serial in year for a date specified by month number and day of month. By default the year is considered non leap, but this may be overridden.

Syntax:

{{Date serial|month number|day of month}}

{{Date serial|month number|day of month|year}}

{{Date serial|month number|day of month|leapyear=is leap}}

• The year parameter is optional, if specified, the named leapyear parameter is ignored.
• The named leapyear parameter (optional, default value 0, unless year is specified) is non-zero to get the proper date serial on dates starting at March 1st on leap years.
