If you are considering use of literals (such as a space) within a output format modifier in a script, then don't. Instead include whatever precedes the literal in a tag specification, then concatenate on the literal, and finally concatenate another tag specification for whatever is to follow the literal. An example to make this clearer is <code>$MXDateTime = '<#date format=yyyy-MM-dd>' . 'T' . '<#time format=hh:mm:ss>';</code>, which is written in PHP Hypertext Pre-processor format, the literal 'T' has been inserted by using two separate web tags surrounding the literal. The same approach applies if you wanted to replace that "T" with a space. | If you are considering use of literals (such as a space) within a output format modifier in a script, '''then don't'''. | ||

The reason is preventing complex mixup of single and double quotes between the script language and CumulusMX. | |||
