Problem with \date command

Problem with \date command

[Cedric Mauclair]

Hi all,

Today I wanted to use the command "\date[d=15,m=10,y=2010][weekday]".
It gives "Friday" as it should. However
"\date[d=2,m=1,y=2011][weekday]" gives the same result which is wrong
(it's a Sunday). In fact, whatever the supplied date, it gives
"Friday". I guess the parameter isn't taken into account here.

Bug or feature?

No problem here:
\starttext
\doifmodeelse{mkiv}{MKIV}{MKII}:
Sunday = \date[d=2,m=1,y=2011][weekday] ?
\stoptext

Perhaps you use a very old version?
There was a bug more than 2 years ago:

I use the minimal from 3 days ago.

Here is what I do actually.

\def\mydate{\doifnextcharelse\space\domydate\domydate }
\def\domydate #1/#2/#3{\date[d=#1,m=#2,y=#3][weekday,day+,month,year]}
\mydate 2/1/2011 --> Friday 2 january 2011

\date[d=2,m=1,y=2011][weekday,day+,month,year] --> Sunday 2 january 2011

Any ideas?

Test file:

\def\mydate{\doifnextcharelse\space\domydate\domydate }
\def\domydate #1/#2/#3{\date[d=#1,m=#2,y=#3][weekday,day+,month,year]}
\starttext
\mydate 2/1/2011   \par % token #3 = 2
\mydate 2/1/2      \par % token #3 = 2
\mydate 2/1/{2011} \par % token #3 = 2011
\stoptext 

Cheers, Peter
