ISO 8601 date format for microformats (See related posts)

Used this in Ruby to get the ISO 8601 (see RFC 3339) full date format for an hEvent Microformat. Doubtless usable in other situations.

strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z')


How to use:

<abbr class="dtstart" title="<%= event.start_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z') %>"><%= event.start_date.to_s(:long) %></abbr>
