 * Hi,
 * i have trouble with the format attribute and the template tags. The following
   statement just won’t work. Whats wrong here?
 * [my_calendar_upcoming template=”{dtstart format=”F j, Y, g:i a”} | {time} | {
   linking_title}”]
 * Thanks

 * Your quotes are nested in an invalid way. Change to
 * `[my_calendar_upcoming template=‘{dtstart format=”F j, Y, g:i a”} | {time} | {
   linking_title}’]`
 * Note that the outer quotes have been changed to single quotes.

 * That’s it. And to be precise: I have used the straight single quotes.
 * [my_calendar_upcoming template='{dtstart format=”d.m.Y | H:i “} | {linking_title}’]
