[Orgmode] Arthur Dent born in May?
Hello, this might be an important glitch in org-mode's documentation: %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Arthur Dent is %d years old probably should read %%(diary-anniversary 05 14 1956) Arthur Dent is %d years old if Douglas Adams had May in mind for Mr Dent. So according to the Emacs documentation the format is month day year which feels distinctly alien to me (I am used to day month year). Is there another way to have the same functionality with a different date format? Warm regards, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.

There are pre-defined forms for european, american and iso-date. Type C-h v diary-date-forms for full help. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

You can just put (european-calendar) in your .emacs to get dates in the proper format (customize will do the same thing).
