Konrad Windszus updated SLING-9983:
-----------------------------------
Description:
SLING-6102 introduced possibilities to format dates as mandated by the spec:
https://github.com/adobe/htl-spec/blob/1.3/SPECIFICATION.md#122-format.
The problem is that those patterns in general (even if a locale is passed)
differ a lot between countries and languages. For that reason Java defines some
[standard formats
|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/dateFormat.html] which
work for all languages/countries. The special strings "DEFAULT", "SHORT",
"MEDIUM", "LONG", and "FULL" should be accepted as values which should lead to
using
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#getDateInstance-int-java.util.Locale-
as formatter
