Based on Eric's hint, I followed org-translate-time's docstring (and references therein) and I came up with this which seems to work (in the sense that the dates look like <2014/02/03 Monday> when exported, which agrees with the specified format): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+STARTUP: customtime * foo <2014-02-03 Mon> # Local Variables: # org-time-stamp-custom-formats: ("<%Y/%m/%d %A>" . "<%Y/%m/%d %A %H:%M>") # End: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- However, the angle brackets seem to be required. Nick
