Persian Date Era Marker Tool

Description

Require nonempty eraMarker and expectedMarker, compare them exactly, and preserve dateToken with eraMarker in a serialized pair.

Manuscript and inscription tokens depend on editorial conventions for folios, sides, lacunae, and date labels. Parsing a convention preserves structure without interpreting the source text.

Require nonempty eraMarker and expectedMarker, compare them exactly, and preserve dateToken with eraMarker in a serialized pair.

When to use this tool

Use Persian Date Era Marker when you need a caller-defined manuscript notation or layout check.

Enter dateToken, eraMarker, expectedMarker. Use the units and conventions below.
Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.

Limitations and assumptions

This retains an era label without converting Persian dates or validating the date token.
Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Consult the edition's transcription and foliation policy and inspect the source image for textual interpretation.
