<div class="block">Factory that creates instances of DateTimeFormatter from patterns and styles.
 <p>
 Datetime formatting is performed by the <a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html" title="class in org.joda.time.format"><code>DateTimeFormatter</code></a> class.
 Three classes provide factory methods to create formatters, and this is one.
 The others are <a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/ISODateTimeFormat.html" title="class in org.joda.time.format"><code>ISODateTimeFormat</code></a> and <a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormatterBuilder.html" title="class in org.joda.time.format"><code>DateTimeFormatterBuilder</code></a>.
 <p>
 This class provides two types of factory:
 <ul>
 <li><a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html#forPattern(java.lang.String)"><code>Pattern</code></a> provides a DateTimeFormatter based on
 a pattern string that is mostly compatible with the JDK date patterns.
 <li><a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html#forStyle(java.lang.String)"><code>Style</code></a> provides a DateTimeFormatter based on a
 two character style, representing short, medium, long and full.
 </ul>
 <p>
 For example, to use a patterm:
 <pre>
 DateTime dt = new DateTime();
 DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MMMM, yyyy");
 String str = fmt.print(dt);
 </pre>

 The pattern syntax is mostly compatible with java.text.SimpleDateFormat -
 time zone names cannot be parsed and a few more symbols are supported.
 All ASCII letters are reserved as pattern letters, which are defined as follows:
 <blockquote>
 <pre>
 Symbol  Meaning                      Presentation  Examples
 ------  -------                      ------------  -------

 H       hour of day (0~23)           number        0
 k       clockhour of day (1~24)      number        24

 Z       time zone offset/id          zone          -0800; -08:00; America/Los_Angeles

 '       escape for text              delimiter
 ''      single quote                 literal       '
 </pre>
 </blockquote>
 The count of pattern letters determine the format.
 <p>
 <strong>Text</strong>: If the number of pattern letters is 4 or more,
 the full form is used; otherwise a short or abbreviated form is used if
 available.
 <p>
 <strong>Number</strong>: The minimum number of digits.
 Shorter numbers are zero-padded to this amount.
 When parsing, any number of digits are accepted.
 <p>
 <strong>Year</strong>: Numeric presentation for year and weekyear fields
 are handled specially. For example, if the count of 'y' is 2, the year
 will be displayed as the zero-based year of the century, which is two
 digits.
 <p>
 <strong>Month</strong>: 3 or over, use text, otherwise use number.
 <p>
 <strong>Millis</strong>: The exact number of fractional digits.
 If more millisecond digits are available then specified the number will be truncated,
 if there are fewer than specified then the number will be zero-padded to the right.
 When parsing, only the exact number of digits are accepted.
 <p>
 <strong>Zone</strong>: 'Z' outputs offset without a colon, 'ZZ' outputs
 the offset with a colon, 'ZZZ' or more outputs the zone id.
 <p>
 <strong>Zone names</strong>: Time zone names ('z') cannot be parsed.
 <p>
 Any characters in the pattern that are not in the ranges of ['a'..'z']
 and ['A'..'Z'] will be treated as quoted text. For instance, characters
 like ':', '.', ' ', '#' and '?' will appear in the resulting time text
 even they are not embraced within single quotes.
 <p>
 DateTimeFormat is thread-safe and immutable, and the formatters it returns
 are as well.</div>
