# Title date format

 * First of all – excellent plugin!
 * I have a design problem. The way the day of an event is presented is the DATE
   FORMAT I pick in the feed settings. The php that renders the day of the event
   is:
 * `. date_i18n( $event->feed->date_format, $key ) .`
 * However, I would like to style it in a different way than just the whole .gce-
   list-title. I’ve been experimenting trying to separate the day, month, year and
   weekday into separate objects so I can wrap them separately with spans, and thus
   being able to style the date differently. However, not being very good at php
   I have not been able to find a way.
 * Is there a hack to separate the date information into separate objects?
 * Thank you in advance.
 * Sincerely,
    Peter

 * Would it work if you used the event builder codes? Something like this maybe:
 *     ```
       <span class="day">[start-custom format="F"]</span>
       <span class="month">[start-custom format="j"]</span>
       <span class="year">[start-custom format="Y"]</span>
       ```
   
 * Let me know if that helps, thanks!

 * That would definitely work. Did not know that shortcode was even possible. Thanks
   a lot Nick! 🙂
