On Mon, 4 Jan 2010, Harald Harders submitted an update to the isodate package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/isodate/ Summary description: Prints dates and date ranges in various (language-dependent) formats License type: lppl Announcement text:
This package provides ten output formats of the commands \today, \printdate, \printdateTeX, and \daterange (partly language dependent): ISO (yyyy-mm-dd), numeric (e.g. dd.\,mm.~yyyy), short (e.g. dd.\,mm.\,yy), TeX (yyyy/mm/dd), original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy), short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy), as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month. The commands \printdate and \printdateTeX print any date. The date is given as an argument using the actual date format for output: \printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, \printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or \printdate{dd/mm/yyyy}, and \printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}. The command \daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary year or month entries. E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'. ChangeLog: 2010/01/03 v2.30 Harald Harders (h.harders at tu-bs.de) - Add a month-year format (omitting the day) - Move defintion of language-independent formats into the main style file 2007/04/09 v2.29 Harald harders (h.harders at tu-bs.de) - Allow to change the unbreakable spaces in the orig and shortorig format
