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).
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".
