======Date Filter======

The date filter can be used to format date information into a human-readable format.

The date filter expects a timestamp value.

====Example:====
<code html>
{$myTimestamp|date:"m-d-Y"}
</code>
If you have an SQL date value (i.e. YYYY-MM-DD) or datetime value instead, you can make use of the todate filter, which converts a date to a timestamp, which can then be formatted with the date filter:

====Example:====
<code>
{$myDate|todate|date:"d.m.Y."}
</code>
Another way to format dates is to use a custom [[wact:DataSetDecorator]].
