Format dates
`date` is a `YYYY-MM-DD` string. Add a formatter to your root `_globals.jsx`:
```js
formatDate = (date, format = "MM/dd/yyyy") => {
const d = new Date(date);
const map = {
yyyy: String(d.getUTCFullYear()),
MM: String(d.getUTCMonth() + 1).padStart(2, "0"),
dd: String(d.getUTCDate()).padStart(2, "0"),
};
return format.replace(/yyyy|MM|dd/g, m => map[m]);
};
```
and use it in any JSX:
```jsx
```
The UTC methods matter: `new Date("2025-01-01")` is midnight UTC, and local
time methods would show the previous day west of Greenwich.
To use a global in a Markdown page, wrap it in a partial, such as
`_partials/today.jsx` containing `{formatDate(new Date())}`, and
include it with `[[ partial "_partials/today" ]]`.
