Hi list,
I was wondering if there is a "\time" equivalent similar to "\currentdate" -> "\date"?
I know from the wiki (and source) that there is "\currenttime", but "\time[h=8, m=30]" will not typeset "8:30", so it doesn't seem to be implemented. I understand that such an implementation might become arbitrarily complicated …
In fact, I'm trying to typeset durations like "3:30 min" which is not exactly a "time" either, but neither \unit{3:30 minute} nor a math formula achieve the expected rendering. Of course, one could just type it plainly, but maybe this little gap is worthwhile considering in a future version. :-)
%D A (simple) time formatter: %D %D \starttyping %D time : \the\time %D time current : \time[method=current] % hh:mm:ss %D time start : \time[method=start] % hh:mm:ss startup time %D time here : \time[method=here] % hh:mm:ss time since startup %D time m : \time[m=100] % hh:mm %D time s : \time[s=3661] % hh:mm:ss %D \stoptyping So a few more times as we had these available anyway.
