Yes; the default time format for that tag (and similar ones) is "t".

It is probably the 'easiest' if not the only way to do it.

It is too bad that a standard time format (such as the ISO 8601 date/time format) was not adopted in the early days of Cumulus ... it would make date/time conversion into other web page formats (such as PHP) so much easier ... rather than having to create/use many different functions to accomplish those conversions... :(

Use the format parameter on the web tags, that's why it's there. Is that not a workable solution for some reason?

I would guess at "ddddd" = Displays the date using the format given by the Windows Short Date format.
as Steve said the default time is "t" = Displays the time using the format given by the Windows Short Time format.
