Comment:
(Adding Claude as cc.) Claude, do you have any pointers on how to make use
of the `DATE_FORMAT` and related settings? Specifically, how to have them
honored in templates.
As an example, I tried using the `date` template tag, and the settings
seem ignored, having the format from LANGUAGE_CODE taking precedence. I
know this is mentioned in the docs:
> Note that the corresponding locale-dictated format has higher precedence
and will be applied instead.
But since LANGUAGE_CODE can not be unset (afaik), it seems unclear when
the `DATE_FORMAT` and related settings are used (outside of the
`formats.py` approach). Just for clarity's sake, I don't think there is a
bug in Django, I think we could add some clarifications to the docs to be
more explicit about this particular usage.
(Another data point: even using `{% localize off %}` does not honor the
settings values. This feels unexpected to me...)
