I'm working on a site at the moment where I want to display the dates in an RSS feed without displaying the times as well. Is that possible? The specification (http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#ltpubdategtSubelementOfLtitemgt) is confusing.

What language are you using? The date format for the RSS is needed in a certain way, but you can convert it with most languages using built-in functions.

The backend is in ASP.NET but the RSS feed is being displayed straight in a browser.
