Hello All, 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?
Thanks. Richard.
