webtag format ?

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

From the original announcement:

"The characters which can be used now are listed on the following two pages:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... .110).aspx - 'standard' strings
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... .110).aspx - 'custom' strings

If the string contains only one character, it is regarded as a 'standard' string, otherwise it is a 'custom string'. This does mean that sometimes you will not be able to uses a 'standard' string, but there should always be a way of achieving the same effect using combinations of 'custom' strings."

You are trying to use 'standard' format characters in a string which is more than one character. You need to use 'custom' format characters, e.g

<#MonthMaxTempLD format="'at' h:mm tt 'on' MM/dd/yyyy">

will give you a US format time and date.

You can only use 'standard' strings on their own, if you combine them as you have done you must use the 'custom' format strings.
