Subject: Minor date formatting issue
Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2013 21:43:20 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABrD0eeVrs-o0UJqbaVQd247o6z7SYJe7UebN1EtwOVAXJ5j8A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello, all--
I am experimenting with the \currentdate command. I am finding that
\currentdate [weekday,{,~},month,day+,{,~},year]
which should work according to the Wiki, produces:
Thursday, Augustday+, 2013
This command:
\currentdate [weekday,{,~},month,day,{,~},year]
works as expected. I also tried
\date [][weekday,{,~},month,day+,{,~},year]
but that produced the same result as above.
I have a recent stable release of the standalone ConTeXt package from
the Garden. Is there a new way to format a date with an ordinal
indicator (-st, -nd, -rd, -th), or is that just not working at the
moment? Please advise.
