use time.Format in date partial to allow localized formatting

[hedzards]

Hi,

I am completely new to Hugo and just barely got to know your theme that fits nicely for my needs. I tried to set

BookDateFormat: ":date_long"

to get localized values for the date in posts. Unfortunately that does not work. I changed partials/date.html to

{{- return (time.Format $format .Date) -}}

which does what I expect. Is this the right way to do it? And would that be an adjustment that makes sense in general?

Regards
Hendrik

Hi!
Yes, that partial there specifically for that purpose, as that date formatting is old, I'm afraid to change it to not break someone's site.
