Description Pedro Albuquerque 2014-10-16 07:07:31 UTC 
Hi,

I recently came across something I haven't noticed before.
I can't format a date in lowercase. First letter is always a capital letter.

Due to recent spelling rules here in Portugal, all week days and month names must be written in lowercase.

So, as discussed here, 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=72904

and following the suggestion by RusselB, maybe we could add a formatting option using, for example, 'mmmm' like we use 'MMMM', but the output would be in lowercase:

Besides having 'MMMM' -> 'Outubro' we would also have 'mmmm' -> 'outubro'

Regards,
Pedro.
