Hi, Would it be desirable if the new exporter took the variable org-export-date-timestamp-format into consideration when formatting dates? Or is there another way of dealing with the formatting of dates?
┏━━━┫ org-export-date-timestamp-format ~"%Y-%m-%d"~ ┃ ┃ Type: string ┃ Since: Emacs version 24.1 ┃ In file: org-exp.el ┃ Time string format for Org timestamps in the #+DATE option. ┗━━━ Here's the relevant snip for org-exp. ((string-equal key "DATE") ;; If date is an Org timestamp, convert it to a time ;; string using `org-export-date-timestamp-format' (when (string-match org-ts-regexp3 val) (setq val (format-time-string org-export-date-timestamp-format (apply 'encode-time (org-parse-time-string (match-string 0 val)))))) (setq p (plist-put p :date val))) Example: #+BEGIN_SRC org #+DATE: <2012-11-18 Sun> * test #+END_SRC Date is exported as \date{<2012-11-18 Sun>} with the new exporter and \date{2012-11-18} with the old exporter (using emacs -q).
