I'm sorry, let me give a full bug report: I have
#+TITLE: title here > #+DATE: <2016-10-20> > in an org file, with no other "#+" lines set. In my configuration file, I have set (setf org-html-postamble-format > (list > (list > "en" > "<p>By <a href='https://pavpanchekha.com' rel='author'>%a</a> on > <time>%d</time>.\n"))) > (setf org-html-metadata-timestamp-format "%d %B %Y") > When I publish to HTML, the date is printed directly as "<2016-10-20 Thu>". I am using Emacs 25.1.1 and Org 9.0.1. I have looked through the code, and think the error is likely on line 1882 of ox-html.el, where the date format ought to be passed to org-export-get-date as the optional second argument. As a workaround, I am currently setting org-export-date-timestamp-format, but it seems like this ought to be HTML-specific. —Pavel Panchekha On Sat, Nov 19, 2016 at 1:33 AM, Nicolas Goaziou <m...@nicolasgoaziou.fr> wrote: > Hello, > > Pavel Panchekha <m...@pavpanchekha.com> writes: > > > I've been trying to set the date format in the HTML postamble.
