Template variable in filter?

[Mike Chambers]

Is it possible to include a template variable inside a filter?

Specifically, I want to have a global setting for the date format string:

Something like:

settings.py
--
DATE_TIME_FORMAT = "M j, F \a\t P"

template
--
{{ comment.date_submitted|date:{{DATE_TIME_FORMAT}}}}

I am guessing that I could write a custom filter that handles this, was
curious if there was another way to do it.

Isn't this already in settings.py?
Look at the code for the filters
/django/template/defaultfilters.py
it reads DATE_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT from the settings file.

P.K.
