In many projects when using CQWP web parts you need to customize date format. By default, SharePoint gives date with time, but we often need only date. Here is a simple scenario:

1. First you need to reference the ddwrt namespace at the top of your <xsl:stylesheet> tag:

   xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebParts/v2/DataView/runtime

2. In order to display custom date format you have to use the following code (replace @ArticleStartDate with your column ):

   xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:FormatDate(@ArticleStartDate, 2057, 1)"

3. Save. Publish. Check results 😉
