Re: [NTG-context] \date format according to ISO 8601
Hi,
I wouldn't like the idea of displaying \date in ISO 8601 format. I'd
rather prefer the human-readable version. The ISO 8601 is a standard for
exchange of date and time-related data [1], not for text documents
made for humans to read.
How to get what you want is explained here [2], I think. HTH.

Best regards,

In case Hans does not like this idea, is it possible to change it to make
ISO 8601 the default. Something like
\setupdate [format={year, –, mm, –, day}]

No, not really. \currentdate [year, –, mm, –, dd] gives me the date in
ISO 8601 format. To force consistency it makes sense to specify the date
format in a *global* setup like
\setupdate [format={year, –, mm, –, dd}]
to avoid ugly constructions like
\def\Today{\currentdate [year, –, mm, –, dd]}

Your question wasn't clear at first. Is this what you want?
\setuplanguage[en][date={year,–,mm,–,dd}]

Brilliant, that's exactly what I want. I didn't expect the date »hidden« in the
language settings, I looked for \setupdate.
Thanks Mojca

It's because each language requires a different output, but I share
your thoughts.
