Reminder about Overrides

When using the override system, note the use of camel case - i.e. "dateFormat" becomes "overrideDateFormat"
<input type="text" data-role="datebox" data-options='{ "mode": "calbox", "overrideDateFormat": "%A, %B %-d, %Y" }'>

Date Format Operators

The date format follows the POSIX standards. There are two non-standard extensions, and 5 extensions for use with duration modes. By default, all numbers are zero-padded. (see modifiers section)
