    {
      if ( $this->_created )
      {
        $this->_expandables[ '{created}' ] = $this->_created->toFormat( $dateFormat );
      }
      if ( $this->_modified )
      {
        $this->_expandables[ '{modified}' ] = $this->_modified->toFormat( $dateFormat );
      }
      if ( $this->_publishUp )
      {
        $this->_expandables[ '{publish_up}' ] = $this->_publishUp->toFormat( $dateFormat );
