-    * If not provided, then `%A, %B %-e, %Y at %-l:%M %P %z` format will be used as default format

+Date filter is used to convert a timestamp into the specified format.

+* LiquidJS tries to conform to Shopify/Liquid, which uses Ruby's core [Time#strftime(string)](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/Time.html#method-i-strftime). There're differences with [Ruby's format flags](https://ruby-doc.org/core/strftime_formatting_rdoc.html):
+  * `%Z` (since v10.11.1) works when there's a passed-in timezone name from `LiquidOption` or in-place value (see TimeZone below). If passed-in timezone is an offset number instead of string, it'll behave like `%z`. If there's none passed-in timezone, it returns [the runtime's default time zone](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/DateTimeFormat/resolvedOptions#timezone).
+  * LiquidJS provides an additional `%q` flag for date ordinals. e.g. `{{ '2023/02/02' | date: '%d%q of %b'}}` => `02nd of Feb`
+* Date literals are firstly converted to `Date` object via [new Date()][jsDate], that means literal values are considered in runtime's time zone by default.
+* The format filter argument is optional:
+    * If not provided, it defaults to `%A, %B %-e, %Y at %-l:%M %P %z`.
+    * The above default can be overridden by [`dateFormat`](/api/interfaces/LiquidOptions.html#dateFormat) LiquidJS option.

 # TimeZone
-* By default, dates will be converted to local timezone before output
-* You can override that by,
-    * setting a timezone for each individual `date` filter via the second parameter
-    * using the [`timezoneOffset`](/api/interfaces/LiquidOptions.html#timezoneOffset) LiquidJS option
-        * Its default value is your local timezone offset which can be obtained by `new Date().getTimezoneOffset()`
+* During output, LiquidJS uses local timezone which can override by:
+    * setting a timezone in-place when calling `date` filter, or
+    * setting the [`timezoneOffset`](/api/interfaces/LiquidOptions.html#timezoneOffset) LiquidJS option
+        * It defaults to runtime's time one.
         * Offset can be set as,
             * minutes: `-360` means `'+06:00'` and `360` means `'-06:00'`

 把时间戳转换为字符串。LiquidJS 尝试跟 Shopify/Liquid 保持一致，它用的是 Ruby 核心的 [Time#strftime(string)](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/Time.html#method-i-strftime)。此外 LiquidJS 会先通过 [new Date()][newDate] 尝试把输入转换为 Date 对象。
 
+但 LiquidJS 支持的格式与 [Ruby 的 flag](https://ruby-doc.org/core/strftime_formatting_rdoc.html) 有些不同：
+  * `%Z`（自 v10.11.1 起支持）只有在传入了时区时才起作用（可以通过 `LiquidOption` 传入，也可以在创建日期时单独传入，见下文）。如果传入的时区是个数字，那么它的表现将会与 `%z` 相同。如果没有传入时区，将会返回 [运行时默认时区](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/DateTimeFormat/resolvedOptions#timezone)。
+  * LiquidJS 提供额外的 `%q` 用来处理序数：`{{ '2023/02/02' | date: '%d%q of %b'}}` => `02nd of Feb`
+* 日期字面量会通过 [new Date()][jsDate] 转化为 `Date` 对象，这意味着字面量默认使用运行时默认时区。
+* 格式字参数是可选的：
+    * 如果不传，默认为 `%A, %B %-e, %Y at %-l:%M %P %z`。
