defining custom timestamps

defining custom timestamps

Hi,

On HTML export,  want my timestamps to display as:

Thursday, July 19

or maybe:

July 19 (Thu)

instead of the default

2012-07-19 Thu

I've tried setting org-time-stamp-custom-formats but I haven't been able to
find the documentation that explains the formatting strings.  Also I'm not
exactly sure which variables control the display of custom times on HTML
export.

thanks as always!

get the variable:  C-h v org-time-stamp-custom-formats


and customize with this:

("<%A , %B %e>" . "<%A , %B %e %H:%M>")

exercise for you ;-)

then goto your file and toggle time-stamp overlays: 

C-c C-x C-t (`org-toggle-time-stamp-overlays')

they can.

cheers,

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.  I think the format strings for 
org-mode to format dates may come from the date (1) man page.
