Steve Loft published a table showing comparison between output date modifiers for Cumulus 1 and MX at [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=17888 Cumulus MX forum]. The table there was based on the table that was originally here for just Cumulus 1.
The subsequent comments in the forum suggested his layout
*When someone wanted to use one date or time modifier on its own
*When someone who had been using Cumulus 1 swapped to MX and wanted to replace a combination of output modifier characters
In MX it is much more complicated, to take a few examples "D", "H", "M" represent different items on their own to what they represent when combined with other characters. That other character can be as simple as a space or a "%" which modify the meaning of the character. So my modification of the table below is with the intention of demonstrating what characters mean when they are on their own and what they represent in the context of being with other characters. Looking at the table you can see "G" is used on its own because it represents a full date-time specifier. "D" is similarly used on its own represents the long date format. If we only want the day of month number we must use "%d" to avoid the meaning of short date format that "d" on its own represents. If we want the typical Cumulus date-stamp of day of month number and month "d M" and "M" will both work because "M" has a different meaning on its own and with another modifier.
