Format commands can be used in conjunction with the display of any date variables, such as ~samp,date~ or ~date~. The default format for any date and time strings is the locale settings on your computer.
· Letters are case sensitive
· Format commands can be combined
The proper format for these would be as follows: ~samp,date,n~ (where n equals one or more of the format parameters).
Example
If
the date was March 14, 2002, ~samp,date,% d-%b-%Y~ would resolve to "14-MAR-2002".
If the time were 08:12:59, ~samp,date,%M
past %H~ would resolve to "12 past 08".
