HTL Date & Number formatting
The latest AEM versions supports numbers and dates formatting which includes timezone and locale formatting. We dont have to write custom code any more. The syntax for formatting is format is specified first, then the value which needs to be formatted.

For eg
Date formatting
<h6>${ 'dd-MMMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss' @ format=currentPage.lastModified, timezone='PST', locale='fr'}</h6>

Number formatting 
<h6>${ '#.00' @ format=500}</h6>
