ISO 8601 date format for microformats

Strftime 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');


If you're in Ruby, you can access this the quick way with:

$ irb
>> require 'time'
=> true
>> Time.now.iso8601
=> "2008-07-09T16:13:30+12:00"


Rails example:

<abbr class="dtstart" title="<%= event.start_date.iso8601"><%= event.start_date.to_s(:long) %></abbr>
