Usage

This module populates {{OpenHistoricalMap/News}} with a list of OpenHistoricalMap project news from Module:OpenHistoricalMap/News/data.json.

main

|date_format =
The date format for the header of each event in the list.
|historical = yes
Formats the list for a historical archive. The list includes old news and is sorted chronologically (instead of reverse-chronologically).
