Search for labelPrecise in
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/labellers.js
That is the code responsible for producing that date label in the
timeline bubble. You can override it by including this script after you
include timeline-api.js:
Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.prototype.labelPrecise = function(date) {
return Timeline.DateTime.removeTimeZoneOffset(
date,
this._timeZone //+ (new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60)
).toUTCString();
};
and replace toUTCString with something like formatDate("MMM d, y").
I found some date formatting examples here:
