title: How to convert/parse a string to a date object with Thymeleaf?
body: <p>I am trying to parse string ISO dates (like "2016-01-01") to be able to format them.<br>
  <code>#dates</code> and <code>#temporals</code> seem to be only able to format Date/LocalDate/LocalDateTime objects.<br>
  For instance I want Thymeleaf to display "January 1st, 2016" when it is passed "2016-01-01".</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
