Link to another PHP Manual page for formats supported by “,date” function

Thank you for your observation and your suggestion. The current Supported Date and Time Formats link goes to an overview page that, as you wrote, does not have any explicit format strings. Instead it has links to four subordinate pages that document all of the supported formats, including the “compound” and “relative” formats.

The DateTime::format … date_format page you suggest has many of the common format strings but is not a complete reference. Although the current reference requires an additional click to get to the actual strings I decided to err on the side of completeness over convenience.

I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any questions or further comments regarding the subject. Thanks for your understanding and your interest in the plugin.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for your elaborate reply, and for making the MLA plugin!
