Subject: date problem
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:26:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5BD5774E-29BF-4620-88DF-202671B4EE87@uva.nl> (raw)
There is a nasty problem when defining the \date.
First approach:
*** > macro:->\date
\def\thedate{\date}\writestatus{***}{\meaning\thedate}
Alas, I get lateron a luatex error on \date:
! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\d'.
Second approach, use \edef to get an expanded value.
\edef\thedate{\date}\writestatus{***}{\meaning\thedate}
*** > macro:->\date
Alas, the date is still the unexpanded macro and not something like 20 march 2013.
How to?
Hans van der Meer
