The Value element allows you to set the time format for dates using a time pattern string. The format date string conforms to the Java language's SimpleDateFormat definition.
If you do not set the format attribute, the date is formatted according to the system configuration property com.plumtree.content.template.defaultDatePublishFormat. The default format is MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa.
