These functions expand on date ranges, sets of dates, and unspecified or approximate dates (annotated with '..', '', 'XX' or '~'). As these messydates may refer to several possible dates, the function "opens" these values to reveal a vector of all the possible dates implied. Imprecise dates (dates only containing information on year and/or month) are also expanded to include possible dates within that year and/or month. The function removes the annotation from dates with unreliable sources ('?'), before being expanded normally as though they were incomplete.
expand(x, approx_range = 0)A mdate object.
If not an 'mdate' object, conversion is handled first with ´as_messydate()´.
Range to expand approximate dates, or date components, annotated with '~', by default 0. That is, removes signs for approximate dates and treats these dates as precise dates. If 3, for example, adds 3 days for day approximation, 3 months for month approximation, 3 years for year/whole date approximation, 3 years and 3 months for year-month approximation, and 3 months and 3 days for month-day approximation.
A list of dates, including all dates in each range or set.
