If â??{{filingDate}}â? expands to a number specifying the number of seconds or
milliseconds since Epoch for that date, then you can use that approach
(seconds would have to be multiplied by 1'000); otherwise, as we have
determined recently [1], you SHOULD NOT.

If â??{{filingDate}}â? expands to a string from which you can extract the month
number, such as "2014-11-30", then you can assign, for example:

var d = "{{filingDate}}";

and then use string methods to process the value of â??dâ? (also discussed
recently).

However, it is likely that Mustache has a way to get to the information
without client-side scripting; it would be better that way, unless you can
make sure that client-side scripting and document.write() is supported with
the user. Still, document.write() should be avoided as it slows down
rendering of the document; tree-modifying methods introduced with the W3C
DOM should be used instead.

Mustache is off-topic here, though, as you have been told before. Please
read and follow the recommendations in the FAQ. And get a real name.
