How to alter date format in page header in Kate (kde text editor)












0















In Kate, I can specify the headers to appear on each printed page:



File > Print... > Options > Header & Footer



In the Header Properties, I found the Format code %y in the left field. This yields the date in the header in the format 1/19/19. I'd like to use a different format.



After some trial and error, I found some date/time related formats:



%y => 1/19/19
%Y => Saturday, January 19, 2019
%t => %t
%T => %T
%i => %i
%I => %I
%d => 1/19/19 4:59 PM
%D => Saturday, January 19, 2019 4:49:58 PM CET


(I tried t for time, i for ISO, d for day)



I would like to use the ISO-format, preferably with the time: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm.



Unfortunately, there is no "help" button listing the formats and the Kate manual is silent on this subject. I tried to look this up on the internet, but no success there so far...



I am on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04.5 LTS) with LXDE.
