When variable returns a string instead of a number (in case of a timestamp for example), "decimal" specification does have a different format and meaning, which allows to select a substring. Specification of the substring consists of two lower-case letters. The first one specifies start point of the substring, second leter the position of last character of the string to be reported. For example, when string is timestamp "20130303121055" a specification of ".ad" selects a substring from first character (position code "a") until fourth character (position code "d"). When you want to grab the time for lowest outdoor temperature of today the template for that will be <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">[th0temp-dmintime.ij:--]:[th0temp-dmintime.kl:--]</span></font face>. "ij" selects the hour part at position 9-10 and "kl" selects minute part at position 11-12 of the timestamp.
