how old are we toay

[Frans Goddijn]

Hello,

This is not really urgent: I was trying to see if I could get the current date (in dutch \huidigedatum) with oldstyle numbers. 

In my setup, \os{123} yields oldstyle numbers 123

As I expected, this didn't work: \huidigedatum[\os{dag},maand,\os{jaar}]

I then tried if the code I used to have for LaTeX happened to be plain TeX but apparantly it isn't. 

any pointers?

Below is the code I used to use in LaTeX:

%--------------Old style today----------------------------------%
\def\oldtoday{{\osfamily\number\day} \ifcase\month\or
  januari\or februari\or maart\or april\or mei\or juni\or juli\or
  augustus\or september\or oktober\or november\or december\fi
  \space {\osfamily\number\year}}
%---------------------------------------------------------------%

% -------------Old style \now-----------------------------------%
% \now macro levert met \now de tijd in hh:mm
% \oldnow in oldstyle numbers
\newcount\hh \newcount\mm
\hh=\time \divide\hh by 60
\mm=\hh \multiply\mm by 60 \mm=-\mm
\advance\mm by \time
\def\now{\number\hh:\ifnum\mm<10{}0\fi\number\mm}
%\def\oldnow{{\onumscfont\number\hh:\ifnum\mm<10{}0\fi \number\mm}}
\def\oldnow{{\osfamily\number\hh:\ifnum\mm<10{}0\fi \number\mm}}
%********************************************************************

Groet!

{\os\currentdate[day]} \currentdate[month] {\os\currentdate[year]}

works here.

Oldstyle footnotemarks

[Frans Goddijn]

Hans advised to add the following lines to my tex file in order to get automatic oldstyle numbers in footnotemarks in the text and
at the footnotes on the bottom of the page:

\definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [tnrexp]
\defineconversion[o][\oldstylenumerals]
\def\oldstylenumerals#1{{\os\number#1}}

I did and tested:

\starttekst
test\voetnoot{I wonder if the footnotemarks are oldstyle now}
test\voetnoot{I wonder if the footnotemarks are oldstyle now}
test\voetnoot{I wonder if the footnotemarks are oldstyle now}
test\voetnoot{I wonder if the footnotemarks are oldstyle now}
\stoptekst

But the footnotes aren't in oldstyle and [tnrexp] is not used:

 63i,19n,87p,165b,1132s stack positions out of 300i,100n,500p,50000b,4000s
<texnansi.enc><tnr.pfb>
Output written on 0TEST.pdf (1 page, 25489 bytes).

Any ideas? In my FONT-FG.TEX in the texmf\tex\context\user directory I changed the definitions of \os into \fgos and \osi into
\fgosi so I suppose they don't disturb anymore...

Groet!

You need to set the conversion: \setupfootnotes[conversion=o] or redefine
the numeric conversion \defineconversion[n][\oldstylenumerals] so that all
numbers will be oldstyle.
