The [documentation for the built-in `now` template
tag](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/) says
the following:
Note that you can backslash-escape a format string if you want to use
the “raw” value. In this example, “f” is backslash-escaped, because
otherwise “f” is a format string that displays the time. '''The “o”
doesn’t need to be escaped, because it’s not a format character:'''
{{{
It is the {% now "jS o\f F" %}
}}}
Emphasis mine. This is incorrect. Per the [`date` tag
documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#std
:templatefilter-date), the "o" is a format character. I have verified that
"o" does require a backslash when using `now` template tag in testing.
