For some reason when I migrated the blog, comments on this page were lost. Have tried to recreate them by pasting to keep relevancy.

Hi Nikhil, What are the valid date formats for this plugin? I want to express a day in the following format: Tuesday, 17 January 2017. Thanks! Scott. -by Scott
Hi Scott, thank you for reaching out. I see I have not included date formats in description, thank you for bringing that to notice, will add that. As to answer your question, it currently does not support weeks in the date format. (It supports: full and 2 digit year, 0 padded, normal and short name for month and 0-padded and normal date.) I shall see how I can add a full format support. -by Nikhil Wanpal
Will you be providing examples of how to use these? I need to create a date one month into the future. – by Unknown
Have updated the "About this Add-on" section on add-on page with a brief about implementation and date format details. Hope to implement the moment.js in a next major version to better support multiple date formats. For your specific requirement, I believe you can do incrementDate with 30/31 as the param. -by Nikhil Wanpal
