Documentation

Date format in the front matter (file header) of new notes.

When nil (the default value), use a file-type-specific format (also check the user option denote-file-type(var)/denote-file-type(fun)):

- For Org, an inactive timestamp is used, such as [2022-06-30 Wed
  15:31].

- For Markdown, the RFC3339 standard is applied:
  2022-06-30T15:48:00+03:00.

- For plain text, the format is that of ISO 8601: 2022-06-30.

If the value is a string, ignore the above and use it instead. The string must include format specifiers for the date. These are described in the docstring of format-time-string.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in denote version 0.2.0.
