23499	"Error in built-in template tag ""now"" documentation"	Joseph W. Dougherty	Joseph W. Dougherty	"The [documentation for the built-in `now` template tag](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/) says the following:


    Note that you can backslash-escape a format string if you want to use the “raw” value. In this example, “f” is backslash-escaped, because otherwise “f” is a format string that displays the time. '''The “o” doesn’t need to be escaped, because it’s not a format character:'''

{{{
    It is the {% now ""jS o\f F"" %}
}}}

Emphasis mine. This is incorrect. Per the [`date` tag documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#std:templatefilter-date), the ""o"" is a format character. I have verified that ""o"" does require a backslash when using `now` template tag in testing. "	Bug	closed	Documentation	1.7	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
