I need to format a date passed as a parameter to an email template. I see references to some sort of nVelocity helper routine $helper.LSCurrencyFormat() but I don't know if that same helper will work for dates.

How would I format a date value, or where is the $helper code?

No, the LSCurrencyFormat helper will not work for date formatting. This is a currency formatter. The code for this extension is under CommerceBuilder/Extensions/DecimalExtension.cs. There is a nvelocity accessible for datetime CommerceBuilder/Common/DateTimeExtension.cs but this has limited functions. You can add your function inside this class and use from there.

The $helper is added to the VelocityContext which is available for all nvelocity accessible classes. You might also format your date something like $date.Tostring("G") in the email template.
