Dear ConTeXt folks,
I have four questions regarding `\date`. I looked at the page in the
Wiki [1], in the ConTeXt user manual on page 159 [2][3] and tried some
things, but could not figure it out.
I am using Debian Sid/unstable and I am a total beginner regarding
ConTeXt.
0. I guess the first question is, if `\date` is supposed to be used
inside a text anyway or just when for example setting the title page.
1. No space is inserted after using `\date[…]`.
text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099] text
result: text 29. August 2099text
Is that intentional? A slash after the command fixes it.
text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099]\ text
It's a problem with the optional argument, if the second argument is
missing the space after the first is gobbled but it can be fixed.
