Time Range Format	The format for the time range at the top of the calendar. It is possible to specify formats for the start and end date of the calendar. Using start{<formatting tokens>} and end{<formatting tokens>} for the formatting tokens use moment.js formatting tokens (http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/). example: start{ddd MMM DD} - end{ddd MMM DD, YYYY} would result in Sat Sep 01 - Mon Oct 01, 2018
