How to format a Date
DateTime is a Querki Type. As of this writing, you mainly get one by the
_modTime Property, but in the future we'll allow you to include Dates as a proper Type that you can use like any other.
If you want to format a Date nicely, it's a lot like formatting a Link. For example, to show this page's last modified Date, I would say:
[[_modTime -> ""__MMM dd hh:mm a__""]]
which shows up as "Dec 10 08:20 AM".
That is, use the above formula, and inside the pairs of underscores, give a
template for what the Date and Time should look like. You can do almost anything in this template -- for more details of what symbols you can use, see
this page. (joda-time is the underlying package inside of Querki; you can use any format that works with DateTimeFormat.)
