formatting and reference
==Usage==
The template {{[[Template:As oftlx|As of]]}} is used to link a section of text to an appropriate "As of..." page without creating a visible link on the page itself. This allows editors to catalogue statements that may become dated over time. It also includes the [[ISO 8601]] format needed by [[hAtom]] (<code>class="updated"</code>) and [[HCalendar|hCalendar]] (<code>class="dtstart"</code>) [[microformat]]s through use of the {{[[Template:Start datetlx|Start date]]}} template. Unlike the {{[[Template:Update aftertlx|Update after]]}} template, <nowiki>{{As of}}</nowiki> does not require the editor to give a full date. This template should '''not''' be subst'd.
==Syntax==
:<nowikitt>{{ {As of | {{!}}year | {{!}}month | {{!}}day }}}</nowikitt>:<nowikitt>{{ {As of | {{!}}month_name year }}}</nowikitt> (''deprecated'')
