Parmaters:
date- The date and time of the post. Defaults to the time of the most recent revision to the page. If a time is specified it will be assumed to be in UTC; the timezone can be set specifically (e.g. in ISO8601 format:
2023-03-24T10:44+12:00where the+12:00at the end is your current time offset from UTC). date displayed- By default, the date that is displayed is of the form "10:44 am Friday, 24 March 2023"; use this parameter to change this to anything to want.
p- Set the punctuation to be used at the end of the displayed date. Defaults to a full stop (period).
draft- Any value will prevent the post from being categorised, and will display a message box alerting readers to the fact that the post is a draft.
