hook_date_format_types()

Defines additional date types.

Next to the 'long', 'medium' and 'short' date types defined in core, any module can define additional types that can be used when displaying dates. A date type is a key which can be passed to format_date() to return a date in the configured display format.

To avoid namespace collisions with date types defined by other modules, it is recommended that each date type starts with the module name. A date type can consist of letters, numbers and underscores.
