Expressing Date Ranges
For date ranges, these tokens can also be grouped with curly braces. For example, in English, the token string {LLLL {d}}, yyyy would produce a title like September 1 – 30, 2022 in a grid month view.
Injecting Custom Text
This preference can also be used to add custom text, which must be surrounded with single quotes. For example, in English, the token string ‘Custom Text’ LLLL yyyy would produce a title like Custom Text September 2022 in a grid month view.
