''Start date'' and ''End date'' - Instantaneous events have only start date, while time intervals have both start and end dates. The date format is this: MM.DD.YYYY. This is an example of an event with a full date <code>some event with a full date;;;;05.25.1965;;</code>. Also, you can specify only month, without a date: <code>05.1965</code>. Or you can specify only year: <code>1965</code>. When you specify only year, the event will point to a moment between June and July of that year. If you specify month without a date, the event will point roughly to the middle of that month, a moment between 15th and 16th day of that month. In general, when event is pointing to a moment between days, that shows that we don't know the date precisely, and the positions of events on the timeline should not be taken literally in such cases. | ''Start date'' and ''End date'' - Instantaneous events have only start date, while time intervals have both start and end dates.
