Short weekday option for date command

Short weekday option for date command

[Adam Reviczky]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 202 bytes --]

Hi,

Is there a way to achieve a short weekday option with \date[] to get 3
letter equivalents (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun) similar to the
monthshort either through context or lua?

Thanks,
Adam

Not currently but I will add the basics (I have to double check with WS 
to see where if conflicts as such an extension involves additional 
commands it has to go into the setups too) but others have to add the 
abbreviations.

Thank you Hans and Wolfgang,

I have updated the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/date) with
the new dayshort/daylong options, but I seem to get an empty value for
every day after day 7, see example:

\starttext
\date[d=7,m=4,y=2008][{\dayshort\normalday},{,~},day,~,month,~,year] \par
\date[d=8,m=4,y=2008][{\dayshort\normalday},{,~},day,~,month,~,year]
\stoptext

This gives me (note "sun" is missing in the second line):

sat, 7 April 2008
, 8 April 2008

Am I using the options correctly?
Still using luatex and not luametatex.

No, the \daylong and \dayshort expect a number between 1 and 7 and 
result in a label for the requested day of the week but it's not meant
to be used in \currentdate.

To get the short names with \currentdate you have to append ":mnem" to 
the weekday, w, WEEKDAY or W keywords.

\starttext

\startlines
\date[d=7,m=4,y=2008][weekday,{,~},day,~,month,~,year]
\date[d=7,m=4,y=2008][weekday:mnem,{,~},day,~,month,~,year]
\date[d=8,m=4,y=2008][weekday,{,~},day,~,month,~,year]
\date[d=8,m=4,y=2008][weekday:mnem,{,~},day,~,month,~,year]
\stoplines

\stoptext
