Thank you very much, Wolfgang,
that helps me a lot. But how can I change the formatting {“weekday,space,day,space,month,space,year”} so that I get a comma after weekday and a period after day? Where can I find something about this?
Aside from keywords like day, weekday etc. the \date (and \currentdate) commands allows free input which used as separator between these keywords. To set a period as separator just put . as entry in the list but ensure to use braces around , because it will otherwise be interpreted as list separator. When you use TeX command within Lua use double backslashes (\\) because a backslash has special meaning here and with \\ you tell Lua to put a single \ in the output. %%%% begin example \starttext \currentdate[weekday,{, },day,. ,month,space,year] %\currentdate[weekday,{, },day,.\ ,month,space,year] \currentdate[weekday,\textcomma\ ,day,\textperiod\ ,month,space,year] \startluacode context.currentdate{ "weekday,{, },day,. ,month,space,year" } \stopluacode \startluacode context.currentdate{ "weekday,\\textcomma\\ ,day,\\textperiod\\ ,month,space,year" } \stopluacode \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
