====Month formats====
 
All locales offer both numerical and alphabetical formats for representing months.
*In the following table "MMM" is shown as producing short month name.
**What language is used, and how many characters appear, depend on what is set up for your language in your settings (by default or by you changing your settings)
** In Australian locale, this would output 4 characters representing a month abbreviation that runs from "Jan." to "Dec."
** In British English (UK) locale, abbreviations do not incude a full stop, so output is a 3 letter abbreviation that starts with "Jan" and runs to "Dec"
*In the following table "MMMM" is shown as producing the full name for a month
**The output you get will depend on the language defined in your locale
**In all English based locales, the output will be in the range "January" to "December"
 
[[File:Badge vMx.png]]'''CAUTION:''' Cumulus MX has yet another complication, a web tag can return different months depending on whether the output modifier for month is used with, or without, an output modifier for day. Take two examples <code><#metdateyesterday format=yyyy-MM-dd></code> and <code><#metdateyesterday format=yyyy-MM></code>, these can produce different months when processed by MX on same day at near enough same time! Let us assume the first is reporting (in a particular year) the first day of June, the second would report the month of May in same year!▼

* [[File:Badge vMx.png]]Cumulus MX: Note that including a ' ' (space) or '%' before the M makes it a custom modifier, so giving a different output to the '''format=M''' included(which inproduces tablee.g. in'3 [[#Date formats]] subsectionoctober').
