date_formatting_text

Name

date_formatting_text -- formatting style for printing dates

Synopsis

     date_formatting_text="@MONTH@ @DAY@, @YEAR@"

Description

Given a day, year, and month, makethumbs has to create a date string intelligibly. In English we print dates like "June 19, 1970". In other languages, these will be in different orders or with different seperator characters. The value for @MONTH@ can be set via the monthname class of variables. This varable is primarily localization variable.
