The Microsoft Docs site seems to use a fork of HLJS (v9) which adds support for date literals ...

... but breaks Directives (by looking for the ending #).

Both of which should now work as expected.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/language-reference/data-types/date-data-type

You must enclose a Date literal within number signs (# #). You must specify the date value in the format M/d/yyyy, for example #5/31/1993#, or yyyy-MM-dd, for example #1993-5-31#. You can use slashes when specifying the year first. This requirement is independent of your locale and your computer's date and time format settings.

So I think that means we can have two variants for each of the possible date literals.

This could land in 10.4 if you have time to finish it up soon.

I'm working on it. 😄

Awesome this is looking pretty good.

Yes, the tests look good.

@Hirse Thanks for all the hard work and closing 3 issues!!!
