3.12.6.4 Useful examples for functions

Especially when it comes to the date functions, it is often necessary to use multiple functions embedded within each other.
?formatDate(?now(), dd''MMMM''yyyy)
e.g. 29 February 2012
?formatDate(?now(), dd''MMM''yyyy)
e.g. 29 Feb 2012
?formatDate(?now(), dd.MM.yyyy)
e.g. 29.02.2012
?formatDate(?modifyDate(?parseDate(22.2.2012, dd.MM.yyyy),-1d),dd.MM.yy)
This function will parse the date 22.2.2012 into an internal format, subtract one day and then format it as a dd.MM.yy, in this case: 21.2.12.
