Dear list,
I would like to get the current month in Roman numerals (just now, it would be XII for December).
The best I get is:
\currentdate[\cldcontext{converters['R'] (tonumber(os.date("\letterpercent m", os.date(os.time()))))}]
This strikes me as too complex (even for someone who cannot code).
Is there now simpler way to write that?
The \date (and \currentdate) command supports number conversion for the day and year values but not the month. \starttext \currentdate[d:R,space,space,y:R] \stoptext The simplest method is to use \convertnumber in combination with \normalmonth etc. which holds the value for the current month etc. \starttext \convertnumber{R}{\normalday }\textslash \convertnumber{R}{\normalmonth}\textslash \convertnumber{R}{\normalyear } \stoptext Wolfgang
