Parses a string containing a natural language date or time. If the parser

can find a date or time, either a Horde_Date or Horde_Date_Span will be returned

(depending on the value of :return). If no date or time can be found,

+nil+ will be returned.

#

Options are:

#

[:context]

:past or :future (defaults to :future)

#

If your string represents a birthday, you can set :context to :past

and if an ambiguous string is given, it will assume it is in the

past. Specify :future or omit to set a future context.

#

[:now]

Time (defaults to time())

#

By setting :now to a Horde_Date, all computations will be based off

of that time instead of time().

#

[:return]

'result', 'span', or 'date' (defaults to 'date')

#

By default, the parser will guess a single point in time for the

given date or time. If you'd rather have the entire time span returned,

set :return to 'span' and a Horde_Date_Span will be returned.

If you want the entire result, including tokens (for retrieving the text

that was or was not tagged, for example), set :return to 'result'

and you will get a result object.

#

[:ambiguousTimeRange]

Integer or :none (defaults to 6 (6am-6pm))

#

If an Integer is given, ambiguous times (like 5:00) will be

assumed to be within the range of that time in the AM to that time

in the PM. For example, if you set it to 7, then the parser will

look for the time between 7am and 7pm. In the case of 5:00, it would

assume that means 5:00pm. If :none is given, no assumption

will be made, and the first matching instance of that time will

be used.
