Use this token if you only wish to show the year if the year is different for 2 DayValues of the current grid. The numbers to the left and right of the yyyy are 2 different DayValues whose years are to be compared.

 

 

A common use of this token is in weekly diaries, where the begin/end dates of the weeks are displayed differently if the week straddles a month boundary.

 

Using the following tokens :

 

[1Mmm] [1d] [1syyyy7] to [7Mmm] [7d] [7yyyy]

or

       [8Mmm] [8d] [8syyyy14] to [14Mmm] [14d] [14yyyy]

 

allows us to show the year of the first day of the week, only if the year changes during the week.

 

Dec 6 to Dec 12 1999

Dec 27 1999 to Jan 2 2000

 

Use filler tokens suffixes if the current token is next to a separator such as "-" or "/" and you do not want that separator to appear when the conversion of the comparative year token is blank.
