Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: WW-337
    Summary: Text formatting support from tag library
       Type: New Feature

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: WebWork
 Components: 
             Views
   Versions:
             2.0-beta2

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: John Patterson

    Created: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 4:39 AM
    Updated: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 4:39 AM

Description:
Currently code like this is required to format values that are not 'simple' properties 
of an action OR that need to be formatted in more than one way:

<ww:property value="formateDate(startDate,'dd MMM yyyy')"/> <ww:property 
value="formateDate(startDate, 'h:mm a')"/>

The TypeConverter approach does not allow for the formatting of one property in more 
than one way.  For example, to output a date as both a time part and a date part or to 
shorten a long description String into an short abstract.  For these types of 
formatting issues maybe a new "formatting" API should be created that can be 
controlled at the view level directly with tags.
