  29  </H3>
  30  <P> Start of bars are given as a date string. The format depends on the
  31   current locale. Examples of valid date strings are</P>
  32  <UL>
  33  <LI> &quot;2001-10-22&quot;</LI>
  34  <LI> &quot;22 October 2001&quot;</LI>
  35  <LI> &quot;22 Oct 2001&quot;</LI>
  36  </UL>
  37  <P> Even if several format are supported it is recommended to use all
  38   numeric dates, i.e in the form &quot;2001-10-22&quot;.</P>
  39  <P> Specifying the end position may be done in two different ways,
  40   either by the end date in the same way as for the start date. The other
  41   way is to specify the<B> length</B> of the activity in number of days
  42   (and fractions thereof). Examples of valid end dates are:</P>
  43  <UL>
  44  <LI> &quot;2001-11-15&quot;</LI>
  45  <LI> &quot;15 Nov 2001&quot;</LI>
  46  <LI> 22, (specifies duration of 22 days)</LI>
  47  <LI> 22.7, (specifies duration of 22.7 days)</LI>
  48  </UL>
  49  <P> Please note that duration is specified as numerical values and<B>
  50   not</B> strings.</P>
