+The date functions is used for parsing and formatting with date and times.
+
+For example to get the current time use `${date:now}` which is returned as a
`java.util.Date` object.
+If you want to format this to a String value, you can use the pattern command,
such as `${date:now:hh:mm:ss}`.
+And to get the time 8 hours in the future `${date:now+8h:hh:mm:ss}`.
+
+There is also a timezone supported function so you can say
`date-with-timezone:header.birthday:GMT+8:yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss:SSS`.
+This will get the `Date` object from the header with key birthday, and format
that using the given pattern in the timezone GMT+8.
