  10 ## Special Phrases
  11
  12 ### `wcf.date.dateFormat`
  13
  14 !!! 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`."

  16 _Defaults to `M jS Y`._
  17
  18 The date format without time using PHP's format characters for the
  19 [`date()`](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php) function. This
  20 value is also used inside the JavaScript implementation, where the characters
  21 are mapped to an equivalent representation.

  25 _Defaults to `g:i a`._

  44 stylesheet is loaded that contains all necessary adjustments for the reverse
  45 direction.
