# HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime(3pm)

a datetime that recurs

## NAME

HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime - a datetime that recurs

## SYNOPSIS

```
 my $r_datetime = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime->new($ical_string);
 print "$r_datetime\n";
```

## DESCRIPTION

### Constructors

- "$r = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime-\>new($string, \[$context\])"

  Creates a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime object.

  `$string` is an iCalendar-RRULE-style string.

- "$r = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime-\>parse($string, $elem, $context)"

  Creates a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime object.

  `$string` is perhaps an iCalendar-RRULE-style string. `$elem` is the XML::LibXML::Element being parsed. `$context` is the document context.

  This constructor supports a number of experimental microformat interval patterns. e.g.

  ```
   <span class="rrule">
      The summer lectures are held held <span class="freq">yearly</span>,
      every <span class="interval">2</span>nd year (1999, 2001, etc),
      every <span class="byday">Sunday</span>
      in January <abbr class="bymonth" title="1" style="display:none"></abbr>
      at <span class="byhour">8</span>:<span class="byminute">30</span> and
      repeated at <span class="byhour">9</span>:30.
   </span>
  ```

- "$r = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::RecurringDateTime-\>parse\_string($string, \[$context\])"

  Essentially just an alias for `"new"`.

### Public Methods

- "$r-\>to\_string"

  Returns an iCal-RRULE-style formatted string representing the recurrance.

- "$r-\>datatype"

  Returns an the RDF datatype URI representing the data type of this literal.

- "$r-\>add\_to\_model($model)"

  Adds the recurring datetime to an RDF model as a resource (not a literal).
