You could use the Python "string slice" syntax, like so:
<dtml-let day_of_month="_['start_date'][:2]"
month_of_year="_['start_date'][3:5]"
year_of_century="_['start_date'][6:8]">
The <dtml-var day_of_month> day,<br>
of the <dtml-var month_of_year> month,<br>
of the year 20<dtml-var month_of_century><br>
</dtml-let>
Later,
