LaTeX has a package called datenumber. It basically allows you to several things: 1) convert a date into a number, 2) add and subtract from that number, in essence adding and subtracting days, and 3) converting a date number into a date string. I use this package to create a yearly lesson schedule and various other similiar things. However, I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the same functionality in ConTeXt with no avail. Is there a solution for this?

Have you looked at a lua solution using LuaTeX? Aditya
I have not looked for a LuaTeX-specific solution. Since LuaTeX appears to be in beta, I feel the need to wait for it to become more stable before looking into a LuaTeX solution. So, I'm still looking for a ConTeXt solution. Bart On Tuesday November 27 2007, Aditya Mahajan wrote:
