[[!template id=plugin name=prettydate author="[[Joey]]"]] [[!tag type/date]]

This plugin lets dates be displayed in relative form. Examples: "2 days ago", "1 month and 3 days ago", "30 minutes ago". Hovering over the date will cause a tooltip to pop up with the absolute date.

This only works in browsers with javascript enabled; other browsers will show the absolute date instead. Also, this plugin can be used with other plugins like [[prettydate]] that change how the absolute date is displayed.

If this plugin is enabled, you may also add relative dates to pages in the wiki, by using html elements in the "date" class. For example, this will display as a relative date:

<span class="date">Fri Oct 17 18:36:13 EDT 2008</span>
