  • p.DateFormat - Date format parameter which will be passed to {{#time:}} parser function, which are described here. It depends on the language and which parts of the date need to be displayed.
Different forms are:
  • YMDHMS = stands for YYYY:MM:DD, HH:MM:SS format or equivalent
  • YMDHM = stands for YYYY:MM:DD, HH:MM format or equivalent
  • YMD = stands for YYYY:MM:DD format or equivalent
  • YM = stands for YYYY:MM (year-month) format or equivalent
  • MD = stands for MM:DD (month-day) format or equivalent
