Common questions
Why does the converter reject some dates?
It checks actual calendar dates and supports years from 1 through 3999. Roman numerals do not have a standard zero symbol.
Is day-first or month-first correct?
Choose the order that matches the date you intend to record, then make it explicit before approving a stencil.
