type=ordered	<date part='day' type='ordered'/> 2nd
type=string	<date part='day' type='string'/> Monday

The following types are only useful without the "part" attribute:

strftime

strftime=string

If this attribute is given to date, it will format the result according to the argument string.

The ! or - (dash) modifier can be inserted to get rid of extra field padding in any of the formatters below. For instance, use %!m to get the month value without zero padding. The E modifier accessses alternative forms of month names, e.g. %EB which in Russian locale gives a genitive form. The ^ modifier can be used to convert the result string to uppercase, while ~ capitalizes the result string.
