Configurable date format?

<< < (3/3)

Llorean:
The separator would be a separate setting, I imagine. If it wasn't just decided to be left up to the WPS author (since, I can imagine dates being split across lines with DD/MM on one line, and YYYY on the next, or similar). Or "01 Mar, 1983" which uses two different separators.

I think the existing tags should be usable as they are, and the setting should be related to some sort of new tag that can be used for ordering.

wintermute23:
What I was thinking was that there are three orders in which people expect to see the elements, and in which they don't need to think about how to translate it into a date. Whether 2 digits are used for the year or 4; or whether the month is represented as a full name, an abbreviation or a number; and what the separators are would be reasonable to leave up to the WPS author, as the space it needs to fit into will vary from theme to theme.

Equally, when you choose "12 hour" or "24 hour" time format, you don't get to specify whether or not there should be leading zeros, whether or not seconds should be displayed, or if AM/PM markers should be upper- or lower-case.
