`dateFormat` converts the textual representation of the `datetime` into the specified format or returns it as a Go `time.Time` type value. These are formatted with the layout string.
```
{{ dateFormat "Monday, Jan 2, 2006" "2015-01-21" }} → "Wednesday, Jan 21, 2015"
```
{{% warning %}}
As of v0.19 of Hugo, the `dateFormat` function is *not* supported as part of Hugo's [multilingual feature](/content-management/multilingual/).

See the [`Format` function](/functions/format/) for a more complete list of date formatting options in your templates.
