April is turning out to be the quietest month here since a long time! Perhaps the warmer weather has led to more outdoor activities. I wonder if anyone is using the *date Macro* & if there are any suggestions for improvement? Meanwhile, I thought it might be useful adding a *time* parameter to

S.S., It's worth noting that, as far as I can see, that main tools like PHP & JavaScript calculate in Gregorian. In some use cases regex might be a better ad-hoc solution for checking dates in some earlier time periods. J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gr

Hi SS, I just read that stack post in some detail. Thanks for that. And I've previously looked at the social and historical stuff. Especially on the different dates on which different countries transferred to Gregorian dates from Julian. What has surprised me is you can actually get regex to

Hi S.S. Great work thanks this could solve some problems for me because I was forced me to give all dates with thes same precision, which is a drag if you are a historyteacher and some processes are decades. You have to start the industrial revolution on 01/01/1770 - sharp if you want to have

It's been a quiet day today in TiddlyWikiLand. I'd like to share a small macro I've been working on the past weeks to address a simple problem. I wanted to solve the difficulty I had in displaying Common Format dates, such as 2019-04-02 as Tuesday 2nd April 2019. I decided to see if I could m
