+Providing a Format Argument
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A specific ``format`` argument can be passed in addition to the datetime string.
+It will potentially speed up the conversion considerably and on versions later
+then 0.13.0.
+
+For example:
+
+.. ipython:: python
+
+    pd.to_datetime('2010/11/12', format='%Y/%m/%d')
+
+    pd.to_datetime('12-11-2010 00:00', format='%d-%m-%Y %H:%M')
+
+For further format options see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 .. versionadded:: 0.18.1
 
 You can also pass a ``DataFrame`` of integer or string columns to assemble into a ``Series`` of ``Timestamps``.
