Dates
Syntax: @Dn [s] [B]
All date formats start with @D or @d
The n determines the date format and ranges from 1 to 18.
The s is an optional separation character between year, month and days. It is forward slash (/) by default. Valid characters for s are:
. (period) produces periods.
` (grave accent - ASCII 96) produces commas.
- (hyphen) produces hyphens.
_ (underscore) produces spaces.
The trailing B will produce a Blank string if the date is empty instead of something like " / / " for @d1 for example.
