I felt this was important so that we could reliably distinguish ISO dates (20070617) from UNIX timestamps (@20070617). And I didn't invent the @-notation out of thin air -- it's the way that several GNU utilities represent timestamps [1] (as documented from the PHP strtotime() function [2], which ZAP itself is using). So yes, that's how it works in PmWiki. :-) [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/tar_109.html [2] http://www.php.net/strtotime Pm P.S.: I'll grant that it's fairly unlikely that PmWiki users will be using timestamps like "20070617", which refer to times in the latter part of 1970. But I still think it's better to have something that clearly marks a sequence of digits as being a timestamp. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
