Computers can't read human dates - Dates and Times tags in HTML

In web, we have to keep in mind the accessibility,

• the human readers
• the computer who reads code

Computers can't read human dates, they prefer numbers (Machine-readable dates)

<time datetime="2016-01-20">20 January 2016</time>

<time datetime="2016-01-20T19:30+01:00">7.30pm, 20 January 2016 is 8.30pm in France</time>
Copy

Needs to use both tag and attribute:

• <time> </time> tag
• datetime= attribute
