Example

t := time.Date(2018, time.July, 9, 13, 14, 15, 0, time.UTC)

fmt.Println(Format(&t, "%c"))
fmt.Println(Format(&t, "%%Y-%%m-%%d -> %Y-%m-%d"))
fmt.Println(Format(&t, "%A is day number %w of the week."))
fmt.Println(Format(&t, "Last century was%n the %Cth century."))
fmt.Println(Format(&t, "Time zone: %Z"))
