In Kate, I can specify the headers to appear on each printed page:
File > Print... > Options > Header & Footer
In the Header Properties, I found the Format code %y in the left field. This yields the date in the header in the format 1/19/19. I'd like to use a different format.
After some trial and error, I found some date/time related formats:
%y => 1/19/19
%Y => Saturday, January 19, 2019
%t => %t
%T => %T
%i => %i
%I => %I
%d => 1/19/19 4:59 PM
%D => Saturday, January 19, 2019 4:49:58 PM CET
(I tried t for time, i for ISO, d for day)
I would like to use the ISO-format, preferably with the time: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm.
Unfortunately, there is no "help" button listing the formats and the Kate manual is silent on this subject. I tried to look this up on the internet, but no success there so far...
I am on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04.5 LTS) with LXDE.

By the way, are you still using the OS mentioned here or have you moved to Kubuntu? Even on Kubuntu 18.04, there's not much you can do re. changing the header format. Apparently, Kate uses the locale settings: kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php/…

Yes, I am currently on Kubuntu 18.04.2. Kate using the locale settings is not bad per se, if I could set those properly. I have now set the Time format toSweden (en_SE). I consider this a non-solution or workaround as I am not in Sweden. I also found the settingDefault (C), which might suggest that I could install some locale based on ISO standards?

It maybe possible to run kate with a locale different than your default locale. DoesLANG=en_SE katehelp? If it does, you can create a shortcut/desktop file to always start kate that way.

Nice suggestion, but didn't work. Perhaps because I do not have that locale installed. Also, it is not installable:$ sudo locale-gen en_SEreturnsError: 'en_SE' is not a supported language or locale. Do you know of a specific ISO-locale (not tied to any country / language) that I might install? NB: I never want to use24-03-19,19/03/24,3/24/19and the like on my system: ALWAYS2019-03-24(ISO) is what I want.

Kate is a KDE programme and depends on Qt. Somebody in Qt decided everyone in locale must use the formats for that locale. You must use the settings for your locale, and also, they compile in the settings for each locale, so you can't modify the file in /usr/share/i18n/locales to fix things, nor add a new locale.
