Griffin expects the date value to be a valid ISO 8601 date.
Fallback value
When parsing content files, Griffin will attempt to read from the date
front matter variable and convert it to a ISO 8601 date. If this conversion fails or the variable is undefined in the front matter, Griffin will instead use the file's last modified date (ctime
in File.Stat)
