+%x:[.y]z
+
+Where X is the number of the wildcard,
+Y is optional, it is the number of digits for deciaml numbers (Z=d). So, if y is 2 there and the number is only 0 to 9 there will be a zero added in front of the number.
+z can be d for numbers and s for texts
+
+For the date thing in STAT_OVERVIEW_INTRO you may use %1:.2d for the day and %2:.2d for the month.
