 * Hello, I’ve got a quick question.
 * I like how the plugin has a field for formatting date for each template, but 
   I can’t seem to escape letters to use there. Its common in my language to put
   the date on documents as “day of month of year”, using “j \d\e F \d\e Y” but 
   whenever I try this the \ gets removed.
 * Am I doing something wrong or its not supposed to use letters like that?

 * Hi!
 * Have you try to insert this shortcode : [date]
 * The date format is in settings on your PDF.
 * Thanks
