Timeline: support for ISO Date strings about chap-links-library HOT 3 OPEN

For what it's worth, I can see where to put the change, so if you want a patch for it, I'll have a go

In here I think:
line 3725 (ish)

links.Timeline.prototype.createItem = function(itemData) {
var item = {
'start': itemData.start,
'end': itemData.end,
'content': itemData.content,
'type': itemData.end ? 'range' : this.options.style,
'group': this.getGroup(itemData.group),
'className': itemData.className,
'top': 0,
'left': 0,
'width': 0,
'height': 0,
'lineWidth' : 0,
'dotWidth': 0,
'dotHeight': 0
};
return item;
};

I'd propose a method to parse a non-date itemData.start and itemData.end

I would be very handy indeed when the Timeline can handle string ISO Dates.

I have updated the title of your issue, I hope you don't mind.
