I looked at the links but the two threads don't really apply to my situation and the RT::Date documentation is too general for me to be able to translate it into a solution, with my limited knowledge of Perl. It clearly has something to do with "Output formatters" but I don't understand how to use them.<div><br></div><div>If it's not too much to ask, then what would really help me is to see some code that could replace <span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(238,238,238)">{$Ticket->Created}</span> to yield the output I need.</div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">Rinke</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 10:53 PM, Joop <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jvdwege@xs4all.nl" target="_blank">jvdwege@xs4all.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><span>On 8-10-2014 17:55, Rinke Colen wrote:<br>
