time.Format

Use the time.Format function with time.Time values:

{{ $t := time.AsTime "2023-10-15T13:18:50-07:00" }}
{{ time.Format "2 Jan 2006" $t }} → 15 Oct 2023

Or use time.Format with a parsable string representation of a date/time value:

{{ $t := "15 Oct 2023" }}
{{ time.Format "January 2, 2006" $t }} → October 15, 2023

Examples of parsable string representations:

1. The time zone offset in the date/time string
2. The time zone specified in your site configuration
3. The Etc/UTC time zone
