I'm working on creating an RSS feed and need to provide an RFC822 formatted dateTime in order for the feed to validate.
It looks like the implementation for fn:format-dateTime() has changed between versions of MarkLogic. The documentation for a valid RSS date is here: http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/InvalidRFC2822Date.html This is an example of a valid value: <pubDate>Wed, 02 Oct 2002 15:00:00 +0200</pubDate> Here is the code that should work: fn:format-dateTime(fn:current-dateTime(), "[FNn,*-3], [D1,2] [MNn,*-3] [Y] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [Z]") -In ML 5.0-5 I get the following (a valid result): Fri, 03 May 2013 08:29:49 -0600 -In ML 6.0-2.3 I get this (an invalid result because of the colon in the time zone offset): Fri, 03 May 2013 08:31:49 -06:00 If I try to use the name of the time zone I get a different problem: fn:format-dateTime(fn:current-dateTime(), "[FNn,*-3], [D1,2] [MNn,*-3] [Y] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [ZN,*-3]") -ML5 result (not good): Fri, 03 May 2013 08:35:16 GMT-06:00 -ML6 result (good): Fri, 03 May 2013 08:35:35 GMT Is this a bug or something I need to work around? -Dan NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
