I'm confused about the value of FORMAT in {{{date(FORMAT)}}}.
I wanted to use "%B %e, %Y", but I have two problems. With the
quotes, I get an "eval: End of file during parsing" message. Without
the quotes, processing stops at the comma, expanding to "May 14"
instead of "May 14, 2009".
Thanks,
-Dale

(Apologies about answering my own mails and all that.) Using "\x2c" instead of "," seems to work nicely. So {{{date(%B %e\x2c %Y)}}} gives me what I was looking for. -Dale -- Dale P.

"," is the (undocumented) argument separator for Org macros. Actually, I am changing it now to ";", so that your example should now directly work. To include a semicolon in the date format, use "\;".

Actually, I am changing it back to ",", this is more natural, please escape "," like "\'" after your next update from git.... - Carsten > > Thanks. > -Dale > > -- > Dale P.
