Examples

Defaults:

<f:format.date>{dateObject}</f:format.date>

(depending on the current date)

Custom date format:

<f:format.date format="H:i">{dateObject}</f:format.date>

Output:

(depending on the current time)

Relative date with given time:

<f:format.date format="Y" base="{dateObject}">-1 year</f:format.date>

Output:

2016

(assuming dateObject is in 2017)

strtotime string:

<f:format.date format="d.m.Y - H:i:s">+1 week 2 days 4 hours 2 seconds</f:format.date>

(depending on the current date and defined locale. In the example you see the 1980-12-13 in a german locale)

Inline notation:

{f:format.date(date: dateObject)}

Output:
