All-numeric dates are used in notes and references, but not running prose. They can be written in several forms. For example, to represent 31 December 1999: [1] 31/12/99 or 31.12.99; 31.xii.99 (unusual) 1999-12-31 (unusual except when required for sorting purposes) The year may also be written in full (31/12/1999).
