I have consulted the manuals and even the source (core-con.tex) but I cannot find a way of getting a three-letter month using the \date command. For example, I would like to display today's date as 23-Apr-08. This gives a short display suitable for use in a margin, but avoids the confusion of American (04-23-08) vs English (23-04-08) ordering when using numbers. Can anyone help?
These are available (sort of)
\currentdate[day,--,{\monthshort\normalmonth},--,year] % lowercase
or
\currentdate[day,--,{\MONTHSHORT\normalmonth},--,year] % uppercase
Thanks, Taco, that does the job for now. Now all we need is something called \Monthshort which puts the first letter in uppercase (Jan, Feb etc)!!! Thanks, Richard
