I'm exporting my syllabus to html, using org2blog for my wordpress course site. The syllabus includes a timestamp at the beginning of each week of the description. org-time-stamp-custom-formats is set to: ("<%m/%d/%Y>" . "<%m/%d/%y %a %H:%M>") which is sort of the American standard (sidenote: how do I toggle between these custom values? I only seem to be able to toggle between overlaid and not overlaid). In Emacs, when I look at my org file, thetimestamp displays just as I want it to. But on export to HTML, the timestamp returns to the ISO format ("2011-10-06 Thu"). Is this an inevitable behaviour? if not, how do I get around it? I can more or less live with this output, but it's a bit awkward for my students to read. Thanks very much! matt
