Subject: Date with three-letter month
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:03:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <OFB3A4FA30.E1C6CAAC-ON80257434.00522E63-80257434.0052B093@converteam.com> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 419 bytes --]

Hello All,

I have consulted the manuals and even the source (core-con.tex) but I 
cannot find a way of getting a three-letter month using the \date command.
For example, I would like to display today's date as 23-Apr-08.  This 
gives a short display suitable for use in a margin, but avoids the 
confusion of American (04-23-08) vs English (23-04-08) ordering when using 
numbers.
Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Richard.
