Placeholders


Dates & Timezone

You can use the datetime function to format dates in your template. For example: Current datetime is:
{datetime(datetime=currentDatetime,format="[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD] | [12h]:[*minute]")}
Alternatively, use a datetime picker to specify arbitrary dates. You can also use a timezone picker to convert the datetime to a different timezone. For example:
{#init
let datetime = openDatetimePicker("Enter a date")
let timezone = openTimezonePicker("Enter the recipient's timezone")
}
 Selected datetime is:
{datetime(datetime=datetime,format="[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD] | [12h]:[*minute]")}

Selected date in the recipient's timezone ({timezoneName(timezone)}) is:
{datetime(datetime=datetime, format="[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD] | [12h]:[*minute]", timezone=timezone)}
