*# | *# The hour in 24-hour format with leading zero, in non case sensitive Delphi (Cumulus 1) 'HH' or 'hh' would be treated as same, but in .NET or MONO it must be "HH" (Cumulus MX). | ||

*#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 for 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). | ||
*#Similarly ''<#MonthTempHD format="M">'' is a single character format modifier and therefore the 'M' acts as a standard modifier and causes the date for the highest temperature in the month to be returned in the standard day and month format e.g. '22 July' (exact contents for any one date vary by locale). | *#Similarly, ''<#MonthTempHD format="M">'' is a single character format modifier and therefore the 'M' acts as a standard modifier and causes the date for the highest temperature in the month to be returned in the standard day and month format e.g. '22 July' (exact contents for any one date vary by locale). | ||
*#Whilst ''<#metdate format="d M">'' is not a single character format modifier and therefore both the 'd' and the 'M' are interpreted as custom modifiers and cause the current date to be returned as a digit(s) for the day and a digit(s) month (in a without leading zeroes format) e.g. '6 7' would be returned for 6 July. | *#Whilst ''<#metdate format="d M">'' is not a single character format modifier and therefore both the 'd' and the 'M' are interpreted as custom modifiers and cause the current date to be returned as a digit(s) for the day and a digit(s) month (in a without leading zeroes format) e.g. '6 7' would be returned for 6 July. | ||
*The other change with the "format" parameter is the different way that | *#Alternatively, ''<#MonthTempHD format="%d">'' is NOT a single character format modifier, therefore the 'd' acts as a custom modifier, and causes a date of 22 July 2014 for the highest temperature in the month to be returned as the day of the month only '22' in all locales. | ||
*#Similarly, ''<#MonthTempHD format="%M">'' is NOT a single character format modifier and therefore the 'M' acts as a custom modifier and causes the same date for the highest temperature in the month to be returned as the month number '7'. | |||
The other change with the "format" parameter is the different way that MONO and ,NET escape any characters that are not being used as format specifiers. | |||
* In [[File:badge v1.png]]Delphi you can put the 'verbatim' characters inside single quotes (Cumulus 1); this is often used to (in English) include words like ' on ' and ' at ' in the formatted output. | |||
*in [[File:Badge vMx.png]].NET or MONO you can still use single quotes, but alternatively you can escape each verbatim character with a backslash as prefix (Cumulus MX). You may need to use both single quotes and back slashes in some format specifiers, depending whether the characters you want to include can be interpreted as control characters (yes, backslash is also used to escape control characters, so for some characters such as those in "on" and "at" [\n will produce new line not the letter n, \t will produce a tab not the letter t] you must use the literal approach to include them in your format). | |||
