Hi,
I wouldn't like the idea of displaying \date in ISO 8601 format. I'd rather prefer the human-readable version. The ISO 8601 is a standard for "exchange of date and time-related data" [1], not for text documents made for humans to read.
How to get what you want is explained here [2], I think. HTH.
No, not really. \currentdate [year, –, mm, –, dd] gives me the date in ISO 8601 format. To force consistency it makes sense to specify the date format in a *global* setup like
\setupdate [format={year, –, mm, –, dd}]
to avoid ugly constructions like \def\Today{\currentdate [year, –, mm, –, dd]} Regards Marco
