How does it work? Hmm. My daily agenda (the default one) starts like this: Day-agenda (W20): Tuesday 14 May 2019 and tasks, etc. are listed below that. I don't think I've ever customized this. Are you seeing something different? Or maybe you mean something else by "agenda"? If you're talking about Org's built-in agenda, you might want to take a look at the `org-agenda-format-date' variable. Mine is set to the org-agenda-format-date-aligned function, which I assume is what outputs the example above. If you're just talking about timestamps in Org files, you might want to look at the `org-time-stamp-custom-formats' and `org-display-custom-times' variables. Hope that helps! -- Best, Richard
