-      # == Adding your own time formats in to_formatted_s
-      # You can add your own time formats by merging them into the DATE_FORMATS constant. Use a string with
-      # Ruby's strftime formatting (http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Time.html#M000297), or
-      # pass a lambda. The lambda yields the instance to_formatted_s is called on, so that calculations
-      # can be performed on that instance. This is handy when Ruby's strftime formatting is insufficient. See
-      # the +short_ordinal+ example below.
-      #
-      # See DATE_FORMATS for the list of built-in formats, and to_formatted_s for implementation details.
-      #
-      # === Examples:
-      #   # config/initializers/time_formats.rb
-      #   ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(
-      #     :month_and_year => "%B %Y",
-      #     :short_ordinal => lambda { |time| time.strftime("%B #{time.day.ordinalize}") }
-      #   )
-      #
-      # Calling it on a Time instance:
-      #
-      #   Time.now.to_s(:short_ordinal)
+      # Converting dates to formatted strings, times, and datetimes.
