Problem with \date command
Hi all, Today I wanted to use the command "\date[d=15,m=10,y=2010][weekday]". It gives "Friday" as it should. However "\date[d=2,m=1,y=2011][weekday]" gives the same result which is wrong (it's a Sunday). In fact, whatever the supplied date, it gives "Friday". I guess the parameter isn't taken into account here. Bug or feature? -- Cédric

No problem here: \starttext \doifmodeelse{mkiv}{MKIV}{MKII}: Sunday = \date[d=2,m=1,y=2011][weekday] ? \stoptext Perhaps you use a very old version? There was a bug more than 2 years ago: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080331.082509.7fc304a9.en.html Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
I use the minimal from 3 days ago.
Here is what I do actually.
\def\mydate{\doifnextcharelse\space\domydate\domydate }
\def\domydate #1/#2/#3{\date[d=#1,m=#2,y=#3][weekday,day+,month,year]}
\mydate 2/1/2011 --> Friday 2 january 2011
\date[d=2,m=1,y=2011][weekday,day+,month,year] --> Sunday 2 january 2011
Any ideas?

Right, I forgot about the catcodes. Thank you.
