How to format date variable in Smarty for dd/mm/YYYY

Question

I’m trying to format a date on Smarty that is in that format {$Grid.Row.DataEmissao.DisplayValue} being displayed like this: 15-03-2018, how can I format it for 15/03/2018 to display in my report, I even read some documents, but what I saw was this:

{$smarty.now|date_format}
{$smarty.now|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}
{$smarty.now|date_format:"%H:%M:%S"}
{$yesterday|date_format}
{$yesterday|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}
{$yesterday|date_format:"%H:%M:%S"}
MOSTRA:
Feb 6, 2001
Tuesday, February 6, 2001
14:33:00
Feb 5, 2001
Monday, February 5, 2001
14:33:00

But in my case, it doesn’t solve.

Smarty uses some standard php functions for some things like in the case of dates strftime() the formatting rule is the same as in documentation

date_format is essentially a wrapper to PHP’s strftime() Function. You may have more or Less Conversion specifiers available Depending on your system’s strftime() Function Where PHP was Compiled.

{$smarty.now|date_format:"%d/%m/%Y"}
