\date behaving strange

\date behaving strange

[martin]

I'm getting a bit confused. The \date function doesn't result in a 
formatted date. That goes for some files that are a few weeks old.

What am I missing?

\starttext
\date[d=2,m=3,y= 2018]
\stoptext

results in:

d=2m=3y= 2018


An optional formatting parameter has no effect

\date[d=1, m=4, y=2018][weekday, {\\}, dd,{-}, mm,-, year]

line 446 of core-con.mkiv should be:

      {#2}{\currentdatespecification}{\labellanguage}%

Great, that worked. Thanks for the quick solution.


Changed the line, then ran:

luatools --generate
luatools --ini --compile cont-en
