Syntax

dateFormat LAYOUT INPUT

dateFormat converts the textual representation of the datetime into the specified format or returns it as a Go time.Time type value. These are formatted with the layout string.

{{ dateFormat "Monday, Jan 2, 2006" "2015-01-21" }} → "Wednesday, Jan 21, 2015"

As of v0.19 of Hugo, the dateFormat function is not supported as part of Hugo’s multilingual feature.
