Hi, are there anyone have used l\_date to format a date object.

I have used it as:  
\<%= l\_date porject.created\_at %\>

And defineded the “general\_fmt\_date” in “lang\en.yml” as:  
general\_fmt\_date: %%m/%%d/%%Y

When run it, the output is: %m/%d/%Y

Maybe I had made some mistakes, who can hely me?
