[TW5] How to change the format of the {{!!created}} when used in a tiddly

[Pieter-Michiel Geuze]

Hello all

I am listing the field {{!!created}} in my tiddler and it shows as Tue Apr 21 2015 10:03:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time). I am hoping to change that to a DD MMM YYYY HHMM format. What is the syntax to adjust the field?

You don't actually "adjust the field"... it contains a numeric value the represents the date/time.

What you want to do is change the way that field is viewed in your output.

To do this, use the <$view> widget, like this:

<$view field="created" format="date" template="DD MMM YYYY 0hh:0mm"/>

enjoy,
