[Radiant] Date tag oddness

[Gabriel Lamounier]

 Walter,

The <r:date> tag shows the published_at date (or created_at if the
page hasn't been published yet).

There was a past conversation where some of us agreed that it would be
good if the <r:date> tag accepted another parameter besides "format"
to indicate which date to show (published_at, created_at or
updated_at).

I think it's a good idea that this new parameter accept another value
as "now" so it can show the actual date and time. For example, in a
site I'm working on I had to create a tag to do just that, but it wold
be a lot better to have this a standard feature.

Is anyone working on it?

Be Radiant!
Gabriel
