I'm having trouble customizing the variable org-export-html-date-format-string. Before I tried to customize it, I would get the date in the postamble when I exported to html:
<p class="date">Created: 2013-05-21 Tue 12:44</p> The original string for the variable is: %Y-%m-%dT%R%z I don't want this string, so I changed it to %F%T%Z which didn't give any date when I exported. So I changed the string to %Y-%m-%d and still had no date after export. Changing back to the default string doesn't work either. This seems like a bug. Here is what is in my init.el after customization: '(org-export-html-date-format-string "%Y-%m-%dT%R%z") '(org-html-postamble t) '(org-html-postamble-format (quote (("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a </p> <p class=\"date\">Date: %d</p> <p class=\"creator\">%c</p>")))) Here is the html of the postamble after export: <div id="postamble" class="status"> <p class="author">Author: Scott P. Randby </p> <p class="date">Date: </p> <p class="creator"><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">Emacs</a> 24.2.1 (<a href="http://orgmode.org">Org</a> mode 8.0.3)</p> </div> How do I get the date variable to work?
