Description

Currently, the dates look like this:

Which is convenient for people, but not so much for machines.

Please, consider using iso-8601 for dates `2023-05-11T10:00` in bare html, which can be then easitly converted to any format with JavaScript on the user end.

This way the original html will be machine-friendly, while still being human-readable (unlike Epoch timestamps), and the end-user would be even able to customise the dates to their liking in JS.
