Simple Django template question

I have a template variable:

   {{article.pub_date}}

that outputs this:

   May 25, 2011, 7:52 p.m.

How can I get just the date without the time:

May 25, 2011

without the:

, 7:52 p.m.

I only have access to the template tags/variables not the python code.

Also you can set a default format if you want a format used all over the site

{{article.pub_date|date:"F j, Y"}}

Django uses the same formatting as PHP date objects.
