modificationDate

Type: string Default: undefined

The date of an in-place editorial edit to an already-published document, in "YYYY-MM-DD" format. Used alongside publishDate for errata corrections and editorial fixes that do not require a new publication date per W3C Pubrules.

Basic usage

var respecConfig = {
  publishDate: "2020-03-30",
  modificationDate: "2020-04-13",
};

Notes

  • Only used when making an in-place editorial correction to a published document (no new publication date)
  • Format must be "YYYY-MM-DD"
  • For substantive changes, use a new publishDate instead
