Special Phrases

wcf.date.dateFormat

!!! warning "Many characters in the format have a special meaning and will be replaced with date fragments. If you want to include a literal character, you'll have to use the backslash \ as an escape sequence to indicate that the character should be output as-is rather than being replaced. For example, Y-m-d will be output as 2018-03-30, but \Y-m-d will result in Y-03-30."

_Defaults to M jS Y._

The date format without time using PHP's format characters for the

date() function. This

value is also used inside the JavaScript implementation, where the characters

are mapped to an equivalent representation.

wcf.date.timeFormat

_Defaults to g:i a._

The date format that is used to represent a time, but not a date. Please see the

explanation on wcf.date.dateFormat to learn more about the format characters.

wcf.date.firstDayOfTheWeek

_Defaults to 0._

Sets the first day of the week:

• 0 - Sunday
• 1 - Monday

wcf.global.pageDirection - RTL support

_Defaults to ltr._

Changing this value to rtl will reverse the page direction and enable the

right-to-left support for phrases. Additionally, a special version of the

stylesheet is loaded that contains all necessary adjustments for the reverse

direction.
