*Cumulus MX uses the .NET date and time format characters that are not exactly the same as the Delphi ones that Cumulus 1 uses. For Cumulus MX see [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx this Microsoft site] for format selectors. The differences come about because Delphi is case-insensitive, and .Net is case sensitive, so .Net can use upper and lower case for different items, where Delphi has to use different letters. | *Cumulus MX uses the .NET date and time format characters that are not exactly the same as the Delphi ones that Cumulus 1 uses.

*#For example ''<#MonthTempHD format="d">'' is a single character format modifier, therefore the 'd' acts as a standard modifier, and causes a date of 22 July 2014 for the highest temperature in the month to be returned in the standard short date format e.g. '22/07/2014' (exact contents for any one date vary by locale). | *#For example ''<#MonthTempHD format="d">'' is a single character format modifier, therefore the 'd' acts as a standard modifier, and causes a date of 22 July 2014 for the highest temperature in the month to be returned in the standard short date format e.g. '22/07/2014' (exact contents for any one date vary by locale). | ||
