## Description

Enable a widget and a shortcode to display dates according to the Pataphysical Calendar

You can customize the way the date is displayed by specifying a format with these
elements :

 * %d : day (ex: 23)
 * %m : month (ex: 5)
 * %y : year (ex: 44)
 * %D : day name (ex: ‘Vendredi’)
 * %M : month name (ex: ‘Gueules’)
 * %S : day saint (ex: ‘Ste Tabagie, cosmogène’)
 * %I : day importance (ex: ‘fête suprême quarte’)

Shortcode syntax :
 [pataphysics-date] : display the current day with the default
format `%D %d %M %y`

    ```
    [pataphysics-date date="2017-01-28"] : convert a grégorian calendar date to the Pataphysical calendar. 

    [pataphysics-date format="%D %d %M %y - %S (%I)"] : display the date with a given format
    ```
