Hello, all--
I am experimenting with the \currentdate command. I am finding that
\currentdate [weekday,{,~},month,day+,{,~},year]
which should work according to the Wiki, produces:
Thursday, Augustday+, 2013
This command:
\currentdate [weekday,{,~},month,day,{,~},year]
works as expected. I also tried
\date [][weekday,{,~},month,day+,{,~},year]
but that produced the same result as above.
I have a recent stable release of the standalone ConTeXt package from the Garden. Is there a new way to format a date with an ordinal indicator (-st, -nd, -rd, -th), or is that just not working at the moment? Please advise.
It’s recommended to use “day:ord” with \currentdate but you also use “day:+”. \starttext \currentdate[day,space,day:ord,space,day:+] \stoptext Wolfgang
