-```go-template
-{{ $t := "2023-01-27T23:44:58-08:00" }}
-{{ $format := "2 Jan 2006" }}
+Use the `time.Format` function with `time.Time` values:
 
-{{ $t | time.Format $format }} → 27 Jan 2023
-
-{{ $t = time.AsTime $t }}
-{{ $t | time.Format $format }} → 27 Jan 2023
+```go-html-template
+{{ $t := time.AsTime "2023-02-27T23:44:58-08:00" }}
+{{ time.Format "2 Jan 2006" $t }} → 27 Feb 2023
 ```
 
+Or use `time.Format` with a *parsable* string representation of a date/time value:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $t := "27 Feb 2023" }}
+{{ time.Format "January 2, 2006" $t }} → February 27, 2023
+```
+
+Examples of parsable string representations:
+
+{{% include "functions/time/_common/parsable-date-time-strings.md" %}}
+
 ## Layout string
 
-{{% readfile file="/functions/_common/time-layout-string.md" %}}
+{{% include "functions/_common/time-layout-string.md" %}}
 
 ## Localization
 
 Use the `time.Format` function to localize `time.Time` values for the current language and region.
 
-{{% note %}}
-{{% readfile file="/functions/_common/locales.md" %}}
-{{% /note %}}
-
+{{% include "functions/_common/locales.md" %}}
 
 Use the layout string as described above, or one of the tokens below. For example:
 
-```go-template
+```go-html-template
 {{ .Date | time.Format ":date_medium" }} → Jan 27, 2023
 ```
