calc-date-format in org-table.el

calc-date-format in org-table.el

[Nick Dokos]

The default calc-date-format in org-table.el uses a 12-hour clock, as
Stephan Schmitt discovered - see

        http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/7753


I think it would be preferable to use either a 24-hour clock (or an
am/pm indicator - imo, a 24-hour clock is better). Here is a patch
to make it into a 24-hour clock:

diff --git a/lisp/org-table.el b/lisp/org-table.el
index 4ba83e9..5d72aab 100644
--- a/lisp/org-table.el
+++ b/lisp/org-table.el

     calc-display-working-message t
     )
   "List with Calc mode settings for use in calc-eval for table formulas.

Wow, what a stupid, terrible bug.

I applied you patch, thanks.
