+ * Similar to the Date (dd/mm/YY) data sorting plug-in, this plug-in offers 
+ * additional  flexibility with support for spaces between the values and
+ * either . or / notation for the separators.
+ *
+ * Please note that this plug-in is **deprecated*. The
+ * [datetime](//datatables.net/blog/2014-12-18) plug-in provides enhanced
+ * functionality and flexibility.
+ *
+ *  @name Date (dd . mm[ . YYYY]) 
+ *  @summary Sort dates in the format `dd/mm/YY[YY]` (with optional spaces)
+ *  @author [Robert Sedovšek](http://galjot.si/)
+ *  @deprecated
+ *
+ *  @example
+ *    $('#example').dataTable( {
+ *       columnDefs: [
+ *         { type: 'date-eu', targets: 0 }
+ *       ]
