Weekdays and Months
8/17/2021
I noticed my date shortcodes didn't work in the Today page. I needed to create manual ways to generate Russian and Chinese dates. While Chinese dates are extremely straightforward (number + month = name of the month, week + number = weekday), Russian dates require some work.
