Date Format

[elipriaulx]

<span class='date'></span> used in the header template doesn't respect my system date format, and I can't see any way to override the format in the available options.

MDY format is not the default interpretation for most of the world, and month/day ambiguity is a huge issue.

I agreee, per default it should use the ISO 8601 format: yyyy-mm-dd and it should be configurable.

I changed my local copy of the extension and added the following property to the Puppeteer options object at Line 370 of extension.js:

args: ['--lang=en-AU']

See Line 370 here:

vscode-markdown-pdf/extension.js

Line 370 in b1e5f5b

executablePath: vscode.workspace.getConfiguration('markdown-pdf')['executablePath'] || undefined

I found this approach here: puppeteer/puppeteer#1871

I'm not sure how you would make it use the system default - I searched for how to do this, but didn't have any luck. It's a crude, but effective workaround. Hope this helps someone!
