title: How do I escape characters in an Angular date pipe?
body: <p>I have an Angular date variable <code>today</code> that I'm using the <a href="https://angular.io/api/common/DatePipe" rel="noreferrer">date pipe</a> on, like so:</p>
  <pre><code>{{today | date:'LLLL d'}}
  </code></pre>
  <blockquote>
  <p>February 13</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>However, I would like to make it appear like this:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>13 days so far in February</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>When I try a naive approach to this, I get this result:</p>
  <pre><code>{{today | date:'d days so far in LLLL'}}
  </code></pre>
  <blockquote>
  <p>13 13PM201818 18o fPMr in February</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>This is because, for instance <code>d</code> refers to the day.</p>
  <p>How can I escape these characters in an Angular date pipe? I tried <code>\d</code> and such, but the result did not change with the added backslashes.</p>
