 * First of all, thank you for the amazing plugin!
 * At the moment this is the shortcode I’m using:
   [open lines update=true today=”
   Today” tomorrow=Tomorrow]
 * This is the output:
   **Today:** By appointment**Tomorrow:** 12pm – 4pm**Mon, 7
   Sep:** By appointment**Tue, 8 Sep:** By appointment**Wed, 9 Sep:** 12pm – 8pm**
   Thu, 10 Sep:** 12pm – 8pm**Grand Opening Day:** 3pm – 8pm
 * Is it possible for me to include date after “Today”, “Tomorrow” and “Grand Opening
   Day” (ie special day)?
 * Desired outcome:
   **Today, 5 Sep:** By appointment**Tomorrow, 6 Sep:** 12pm – 
   4pm**Mon, 7 Sep:** By appointment**Tue, 8 Sep:** By appointment**Wed, 9 Sep:**
   12pm – 8pm**Thu, 10 Sep:** 12pm – 8pm**Grand Opening Day, 11 Sep:** 3pm – 8pm
 * Thanks in advance!

 * [@dean-loh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dean-loh/) Thanks, glad it is
   useful! This will certainly be possible in the _next release_. I have added a`
   label_format` parameter for exactly this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [open lines update=true today="Today" tomorrow="Tomorrow" label_format="%label%, %day%"]
       ```
   
 * `%label%` is the word or label, `%day%` is the day or date as it appears now,
   and you can put whatever you like between them. It only applies to days that 
   have a label, so your Mon to Thu rows stay exactly as they are.
 * Each part is will be wrapped in its own `<span>` element, so you can style the
   label and the date differently if you want to.
