2) here:
a) the e.g. for %c should be "Sat Dec 26 2015 22:55:03" or similar, instead of the current "Sat Dec 26 22:55:03 2015", according to the (correct) order in the subsequent %#c format code
b) the e.g. for %T should be 22:55:03 instead of the current 22:55

This example is the same result as my tested skin. So I didn't modify the document about this.

While any Format string desired can be used, the codes like %#c that return long or short representations of the date and/or time for the system locale or the locale defined by TimeStampLocale or FormatLocal are particularly useful for easily changing between locale values from the "input" to the "output". Not only will it use the language defined by the locale, but also with the appropriate order, structure and punctuation.

The section should also mention that you need DynamicVariables=1 always enabled.

Brian wrote: ↑May 31st, 2023, 7:46 pm The & prefix is not required, unless nesting with other section variables.

For example, using jsmorley's ConfigActive skin, if you remove the & before ALL calls to the inline lua functions, the skin works just fine.
