== Documentation ==

This template simply translates month numbers to month names (where 1 is January, 2 is February, and so on). It is used by other templates and shouldn't need to be called directly in articles.

=== Usage ===

* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num</nowiki>|<var>number</var>}}</code>

For January through September, {{tpvv|number}} can be either a 1-digit or 2-digit number (i.e., <code>1</code>–<code>9</code> or <code>01</code>–<code>09</code>). For October through December, ony 2-digit numbers can be used (<code>10</code>–<code>12</code>).

Interestingly, longer zero-padded numbers, like <code>007</code>, ''can'' be used (as seen below), but this behavior probably should not be relied upon.

=== Examples ===

* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num}}</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{month-by-num}}
* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num|}}</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{month-by-num|}}
* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num|7}}</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{month-by-num|7}}
* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num|07}}</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{month-by-num|07}}
* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num|007}}</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{month-by-num|007}}
* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num|13}}</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{month-by-num|13}}
* <code><nowiki>{{month-by-num|January}}</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{month-by-num|January}}
