Seem like formatting in the template is the right place -- may want to have
different formats in different places in your app. Then you might also
think about how best to localize.
One idea is to localize a set of names for a set of formats:
[% dt_fmt = c.localize( '_DT_DATE_ONLY' ); foo.some_dt_object.strftime(
dt_fmt ) | html %]
I have also used a function that does the above, but also clones and sets
the time zone and locale based on the user's preferences:
[% user_time( foo.event_start, '_DT_TIMESTAMP_WITH_ZONE' ) | html %]
