StyleCode - Types
Color
A color can be specified using one of the following patterns:
- Hash-prefixed, three-digit hexadecimal (such as
"#F00") - Hash-prefixed, six-digit hexadecimal (such as
"#FF0000") - CSS color keywords (such as
"red") from the full list of color keywords.
Date
A date format is text containing special sequences representing aspects of a date. Non-letter characters, such as , or white space, are printed out as-is. Letters are reserved, and should be escaped using backslash (\d prints an actual d).
The supported special sequences are given below for Monday January 1st, 2001:
| Sequence | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
d | 1 | The day of the month. |
dd | 01 | The day of the month, always two digits. |
ddd | Mon | The day of the week, short three-letter name. |
dddd | Monday | The day of the week, full name. |
M | 1 | The month of the year. |
MM | 01 | The month of the year, always two digits. |
MMM | Jan | The month of the year, short three-letter name. |
MMMM | January | The month of the year, full name. |
y | 1 | The year within the century (but why would you use that ?) |
yy | 01 | The two-digit year within the century, to plan for the year 2100 bug. |
yyyy | 2001 | The four-digit year number. |
w | 1 | The ISO week number. |
