Re: [WebDNA] Simple Date Format Conversion
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2008
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 100435
interpreted = N
texte = It happens that I'm editing a page that uses such code. So here it is: [format days_to_date %b %d][math]{[eventdate]}[/math][/format] where [eventdate] is in the format you are using; i.e. mm/dd/yyyy [format] is for numbers and text strings, so that's why you need to use [math]{mm/dd/yyyy}[/math] to get it in numerical format first.
