(Migrated from github.com)

The text Last changed: 2021-11-05 is fine as a default, but could it also be made configurable, so I can localize it for Dutch?

A last-changed-text. Ideally also with a variable position of the date. So you could also change it to a more verbose

This page was last changed on 2024-22-12

This is longer, but does make explicit that the date is per page, and not for the whole website which some users might assume.
It also allows a different place in the text of the date like in some languages/constructions like this German:

Diese Seite wurde zuletzt am 2024-22-12 geändert.

This feature request was split out from #10.

Optional: Allow different date formats

A level up of this feature would be an extra date-format option. Which you could set to also include the time, change separator character and/or have a date with for instance "day-month-year" order instead of the default "year-month-day". You could (internally) use the Crono crate to support date formats.

Here some examples (usable for unit tests!? 😉 )

: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"

This page was last changed on 2024-22-12 10:02

change separator character from - to / and have date with for instance day-month-year order: "%d//%m%Y"

This page was last changed on 22/12/2024

default year-month-day date : Don't use/set the setting (or use "%Y-%m-%d" to make explicit)
