Just figured this one out myself a week or two ago. I use something like this: <dtml-var date fmt=aCommon> If you are using a Zope Date/Time object, this should work. -Curt

Greetings folks,
I've got a record in an SQL database that contains a date field (2000-02-25 for example).
I'm generating a table from an SQL query. The bit that displays the date is pretty simple: <dtml-var date null="">
I want to format the date into something a little more readable (like 'Feb 25, 2000' for example). I've been trying to figure out how to use the date-time format functions mentioned in the DTML guide in Appendix A. It mentions the special variable _, which provides a method for constructing date time values from strings and numeric data.
I think my question is really a matter of syntax, as the DTML guide doesn't provide any examples of usage in Appendix A.
Would I use something like: <dtml-var _.aCommon(date) null=""> ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Jeff
