[opencms-dev] How to change the date format?

[Jonathan Woods]

Samir -

In what context are you talking about dates, then?  Is it in how they're
displayed when your web site renders XML content?  If so, then Christoph's
advice applies: you need to write a bit of Java to format the date according
to your heart's desire.

"The date format used when displaying content is by default depending on the
locale of the resource (possibly inherited)."

Is it possible to change this? To tell like "I don't care where you are but
this is the date format you have to use" ?

(the format used in the workplace isn't important..)
