Date with three-letter month
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

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.

Hi Taco, > I can remove that line, it is misleading. The content of the > log file is in <result>.log What do you mean with <result>? There is only ONE log file and that is tst10.log (the log file of the tst10.tex which runs the above code). Wolfgang

Maybe the strange behaviour of mplib is related to this. Wolfgang

acroread and reload a PDF
by Suno Ano 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

I am on DebianGNU/Linux using acroread. Anytime I make a change to some Context source and compile it into PDF I want to view the result i.e. reload the already opened PDF. Same as with Firefox/Iceweasel and some HTML page I work on i.e. hitting C-R reloads the page for viewing. With xpdf I just hit R and the file (which changed on the disk) gets reloaded. Am I right that acroread lacks a reload feature? Reopening a document anytime it changed totally sucks ...

Hi Hans and Taco, Mkiv does not like \{ .. \} in the text input, it thinks that they should be in math mode. For example, \starttext I need \{ braces \} \stoptext gives ! Missing $ inserted. <inserted text> $ <to be read again> \odelimiter \lbrace ->\odelimiter "4020066"030008 l.2 I need \{ braces \} ? Aditya
