Error when parsing date #156
Description
I'm getting an error when formatting a variable with datetime.
This is the template I wrote:
---
template_title: {{datetime format = "dddd D [de] MMMM de YYYY"}}
---
#### {{datetime format="HH:mm:ss"}}:
---I get the following error:

Here's my setup:
Joplin 3.5.13 (prod, win32)
Templates: 3.0.0

template_title: '{{datetime format="dddd D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY"}}'
I think the issue is caused by YAML parsing the datetime expression incorrectly.
You need to wrap the whole expression in single quotes to avoid errors.
Try this:
template_title: '{{datetime format="dddd D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY"}}'
This should fix the parsing error.
