* Format dates with "th", "nd", and "rd".

[This post by ssddanbrown](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/formatting-a-date-with-suffix-2nd/5701) suggested a nice little snippet that allows Hugo to format dates into something like `posted on 5th of March 2017`.

### Cardinal Numbers and Ordinal Abbreviations
Spelled-out cardinal numbers (e.g. "one", "two", and "three") and ordinal abbreviations (i.e., with shorted suffixes like "1st", "2nd", and "3rd") are not currently supported:
Spelled-out cardinal numbers (e.g. "one", "two", and "three") are not currently supported.
Ordinal abbreviations (i.e., with shorted suffixes like "1st", "2nd", and "3rd") are not currently directly supported. By using `{{.Date.Format "Jan 2nd 2006"}}`, Hugo assumes you want to append `nd` as a string to the day of the month. However, you can chain functions together to create something like this:
```
{{.Date.Format "Jan 2nd 2006"}}
{{ .Date.Format "2" }}{{ if in (slice 1 21 31) .Date.Day}}st{{ else if in (slice 2 22) .Date.Day}}nd{{ else if in (slice 3 23) .Date.Day}}rd{{ else }}th{{ end }} of {{ .Date.Format "January 2006" }}
```
Hugo assumes you want to append `nd` as a string to the day of the month and outputs the following:
This will output:
```
Mar 3nd 2017
5th of March 2017
```
