Re: [NTG-context] Minor date formatting issue

Perhaps someone should update the wiki? I suppose I could get an account and fix it myself ... if people don't mind someone as inexpert as me messing around in there ...

It would be very nice if you could do that. Don’t worry about inexpertise -- people improving the documentation of how commands work is always welcome. (If you can't get the formatting right, you can leave it in plain text and I'll come in later and tidy it up.) Cheers, Sietse On 10 August 2013 07:04, Matt Gushee wrote:

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

...

It’s recommended to use “day:ord” with \currentdate but you also use “day:+”.

\starttext \currentdate[day,space,day:ord,space,day:+] \stoptext

Ah, yes, thank you!
