Update the list of DQL functions

See original GitHub issue

Please provide a link to the documentation page and section https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/query/functions/ and https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/api/code-reference/

Describe the problem Some of the most frequently used DQL Functions on in the past few weeks of Obsidian Forum posts are not actually documented on the Functions page. dateformat and substring are the two that pops out the most, but it’d be really nice if this was up to date and I didn’t have to go searching for function APIs in the source code!

Similarly, I noticed as I was adding JSDoc comments to a custom view script that the Typescript files for DataviewJS contain definitions for more functions than are documented on the Code Reference page. From small things like dv.duration() to headliners like the one that renders markdown tables (for which it would be great to have a couple examples (e.g. with and without grouping).

Thanks for the wonderful plugin and documentation so useful that I have all the page names memorized!

EDIT: Just saw that substring is now documented in the newest update, wonderful!

I’ve finally fixed my system. My grub was broken for the weekend lol. I think I can start revamping the docs now.

The docs are due for an overhaul. I once asked for feedback from users and it was one of the most asked for things. We’ll get around to it after the current beta becomes stable.
