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
2. I do not want that one digit months have the zero displayed. But
using `m` acts as using `month`.
\date[d=29,m=8,y=2099][d,.\,,m]
result: 29. August
3. Spacing between numbers. Using LaTeX there were some suggestions to
typeset a date using small spaces like `29.\,8.\,2010`. I guess this
depends on the fonts used and personal taste? If there is a rule, maybe
that could be added to the typesetting chapter in the user manual.
Thanks,
Paul
