Hi Bhaskar,

 

 

In Date formatting 0 is corresponds to the param tag which you have mentioned

 

For Example consider this below ,

Here we have one param tag with value of Now(), index of this param tag is 0

<apex:page >
<apex:outputText value="The formatted time right now is:
{0,date,yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss z}">
<apex:param value="{!NOW()}" />
</apex:outputText>
</apex:page>

 

 

Suppose if i have two param tags means and i would like to call today function means the param index is 1, so u need the call 1 in the date format..

 

<apex:page >
<apex:outputText value="The formatted time right now is: 
{1,date,yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss z}">
<apex:param value="{!NOW()}" />

<apex:param value="{!Today()}" />

</apex:outputText>
</apex:page>

 

 

Hope this may helps you...!
