Add helper functions for ejs templates

As a user that edit templates I want to have a few template method helpers.

1. Add the following methods to ejs as default

• dateFormat(date: Date | number | string, format: string = defaultFormat)
• currencyFormat(amount: number | string, currency: string = 'EUR')

2. Add documentation in the documentation page of how to use these methods.

---

Example of final template usage:

<div>
  <span><%= dateFormat(new Date(), format = 'DD MM YYYY') %></span>
   <span><%= dateFormat(new Date().getTime(), format = 'DD MM YYYY') %></span>
   <span><%= dateFormat(new Date().toString(), format = 'DD MM YYYY') %></span>
  <span><%= currencyFormat(100, currency = 'EUR') %></span>
  <span><%= currencyFormat("1000", currency = 'USD') %></span>
</div>

---

Technical details

• Add these functions to ejs (extend serverside ejs), please read ejs documentation to see how
• dateFormat should encapsulate moment package (I think the project itself has a demo of how to do it)
• currencyFormat should encapsulate https://www.npmjs.com/package/currency-formatter

Add HTML Editor.

As a user I want to have an HTML designer that has both designer and HTML preview for my templates.

• The html editor should have WYSIWYG features
• The html editor should be wrapped inside the layout, but the layout should not be editable.

Investigation: add support for different template start / closing template characters.

• As a user I want to have the ability to use something like {paramName} or {=paramName} instead of <%=paramName%>

• This is required before adding a better HTML editor, because the HTML editor might take the <%=paramName%> as an HTML element.
