### `String formatDateTime(style: String, date: DateValueNode)`
Formats a date or date-time value according to a pattern defined in the
theme manifest. The pattern must be a valid pattern for the Java `DateTimeFormatter` class (see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html). The definition in the theme manifest is done in the `date-time-formats` section. A definition for a date style looks like this:
"date-time-formats": [
...
{
"style": "standard",
"lang": "de",
"format": "dd. MMM YYYY"
},
{
"style": "standard",
"lang": "en",
"format": "MM/dd/YY"
}
...
]
Each style must have a name. It is possible to have different patterns
for a style for different languages. The pattern itself is provided by the `format` property. For a documentation of the pattern format
please refer to the documentation of the Java `DateTimeFormatter`.
The second parameter of these function is a date value, at the moment
this is an XML node if several attributes providing the year, month etc. of the date. This value is usually provided by special function
for the specific content type. A typical usage of the `formatDateTime`
function looks like this:
<span>${Utils.formatDateTime("standard", News.getNewsDate(item))}</span>
In this example the `getNewsDate` function was used to retrieve the date of a news.
