date filter documentation is unclear

Description

The date filter documentation should be updated to make it clear that it requires a *semi-colon* after 'date' (linking to the now documentation does NOT explain that this is necessary).

Using a simple example would help, eg:

DATE
Formats a date according to the given format (the format is the same as the now tag), eg {{object.pub_date|date:"d m y"}}

The date filter works the same as any other filter which requires an argument, and the method for supplying an argument to a filter is clearly explained elsewhere. Also, you're looking for colon, not semi-colon; a sem-colon is the character ";" and a colon is the character ":".
