How to change a date merge tag

A merge tag that inserts dates and/or times will automatically resolve to the following format:

"yy MM dd HH:mm"

22 01 31 00:00 (Year, month, day, time)

This format can be changed based on your preferences. To change it, just insert the merge tag and change the date or/and time format highlighted in the example below:

{{{dateFormat "yy MM dd HH:mm" event:startDate}}}

In case you like to separate the date and the time in your text, insert the merge tag twice. In the first one, you enter a date format and in the second one a time format. For example:

Your are welcome {{{dateFormat "yy MM dd" event:startDate}}}. The event starts {{{dateFormat "HH:mm" event:startDate}}}.

Below are some examples of how the format can be structured together with what will be inserted for you to use.
