> This issue originated from JSPWIKI-196
> [~brushed] proposal for rendering time/dates:
> All template JSPs are currently using JSTL for date formatting. For example:
> {code:xml}
> <fmt:formatDate value="<%= firstPage.getLastModified() %>" pattern="${prefs['DateFormat']}" />
> {code}
> This formats the date according to the preferred date-format (the default is read from jspwiki.properties) and according to the default locale, which typically is taken from the user's browser.
> However, several plugins and tags (RecentChangesPlugin, CurrentTimePlugin, WebLogPlugin, ...) are using there own cooking to format dates.
> To resolve this, I would recommend to introduce a helper function to format dates consistently, which uses the selected preferences and default browser settings.
> So you can use from plugin code :
> {code}
> SimpleDateFormat fmt = Preferences.getDateFormat( pagecontext );
> {code}
