The {{created:%B %d, %Y}} substitution parameter references the value of the Created header on a node, and formats the date/time value using an strftime format string in the rvalue portion of the parameter.
For example, this node has the following Created header set:
Created: 2026-04-12T16:45:29-04:00
Here is what the {{created:%B %d, %Y}} substitution parameter evaluates to:
April 12, 2026
The format string has a lot of different options. See the Python datetime strftime() reference or the strftime(3) man page for further details.
Created is an optional header. If it is not set on the node, then it will cause a build error.
Compare this with the {{modified:%B %d, %Y}} parameter.
