calc: Date Formats

 
 7.7.7 Date Formats
 ------------------
 
 The ‘d d’ (‘calc-date-notation’) command controls the display of date
 forms (Date Forms).  It prompts for a string which contains
 letters that represent the various parts of a date and time.  To show
 which parts should be omitted when the form represents a pure date with
 no time, parts of the string can be enclosed in ‘< >’ marks.  If you
 don’t include ‘< >’ markers in the format, Calc guesses at which parts,
 if any, should be omitted when formatting pure dates.
 
    The default format is: ‘<H:mm:SSpp >Www Mmm D, YYYY’.  An example
 string in this format is ‘3:32pm Wed Jan 9, 1991’.  If you enter a blank
 format string, this default format is reestablished.
 
    Calc uses ‘< >’ notation for nameless functions as well as for dates.
 Specifying Operators.  To avoid confusion with nameless
 functions, your date formats should avoid using the ‘#’ character.
