django template datetime filter displays month instead of minute

what should the following look like?

{% now "YmdHMS" %}

according to python... 

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
'20140227121922'

but in my template, the result is...

2014022712Febth

How can I make this work properly?

complete date and time

{{ created_at|date:"Y-m-d H:i" }}

only time

{{ created_at|date:"H:i" }}

hours and minutes after the post created_at

{{ created_at|timesince }}

date and month

{{ created_at|date:"jS \o\f F"}}

{% now "YmdHis" %}

django templatetag filtering of datetime is different from python strftime()

Try:

{% now "YmdHis" %}

Here is a table with datetime format strings:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#date

You should take a look at those docs:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#now
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/formatting/#format-localization

Just figured out that I'd make a function on the view to do this (because outside of the template the date string formats correctly). I'd still love to know why it doesn't work in the template...
