Hi. Since I edit my files from different computers, each with different locales, I end up with dates like:
CLOCK: [2009-04-01 mié 14:15]--[2009-04-01 mié 14:22] => 0:07
…
SCHEDULED: <2009-03-26 dj 18:00>
…
CLOSED: [2007-11-25 So 19:05]
… <2007-08-31 Fri 17:25>
Emacs and I can live with these localised week day names, but to external (HTML) users I would like to show dates in a custom format so that they always look the same.
Can I format timestamps on export?
Thanks,
Daniel

You can customize them for display, which will also
transfer to exported files.
Check out the variables `org-display-custom-times' and
`org-time-stamp-custom-formats'.
When you turn this on, you lose some of the editing capabilities
for time stamps with S-cursor keys. So if you really only need it
for export, you can use one of the export preprocessor hooks and
change all the time stamps with a function like (untested):
(add-hook 'org-export-preprocess-final-hook
(lambda ()
(let ((org-display-custom-times t)
(org-time-stamp-custom-formats
'("<%m/%d/%y %a>" . "<%m/%d/%y %a %H:%M>"))) ;; customize!
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward org-ts-regexp-both nil t)
(replace-match (save-match-data
(org-translate-time (match-string 0)))
t t)))))

Thanks; I didn't know that org-display-custom-times would affect also the export. Could the documentation say that?

BTW, this doesn't work in the latex exporter. I used the attached ugly
hack rather than fix the latex exporter - I suspect I was in a rush to
get a piece of work out to someone. Anyway, the function cas/org-
export-as-latex-to-buffer-with-timestamp behaves the same as org-
export-as-latex-to-buffer, but translates all timestamps to org-time-
stamp-custom-formats.
Best,
Christopher

Fixed for LaTeX export, and documented.
