Buttondown Documentation

Formatting dates in an email

By default, Buttondown will format dates like Feb. 4, 2003, 4 p.m.. For example:

This email was sent on {{ email.publish_date }}.

This email was sent on Jan. 9, 2024, 2 p.m.

If you're interested in customizing this format, you can use the date filter in Django.

For example, to format the date as 2024-01-09, you can use the following:

This email was sent on {{ email.publish_date|date:'Y-m-d' }}.

This email was sent on 2024-01-09.
