Thus, |\maketitle| uses the \UK\ format (instead of the default \US\ format, e.g. \monthname\ \number\day, \number\year, as used in the |article| class). % % From \emph{Hart's Rules} (Hart, H., 1983. \emph{Hart's Rules for Compositors and Readers at the University Press Oxford}, Thirty-ninth edition, Completely revised, Originally compiled by Horace Hart, \textsc{m.a.}, Printer to the University, 1883--1915, Oxford University Press, Oxford, pp.~18--19.): % % \makeatletter\begin{center}\begin{minipage}[t]{100mm} % \def\thempfootnote{{\@arabic\c@mpfootnote}} % In dates, print 25 June 1978.\footnote{~This will not apply to quotations, nor to reprints of documents. As to the form May 19, 1862, Sir James Murray said, `This is not logical: 19 May 1862 is. \emph{Begin} at day, \emph{ascend} to month, \emph{ascend} to year; not \emph{begin} at month, \emph{descend} to day, then \emph{ascend} to year.'} Omit comma between month and year: `The delay after November 1967 was due to an oversight.' % \end{minipage}\end{center}\makeatother % % This package also determines |\today|'s day of the week, which still makes the package useful even to Americans who might use the |usdate| option. The day of the week is calculated according to Zeller's congruence: % \begin{align*}w &= \begin{cases} % d + \floor{\frac{26}{10}\pp{m+1}} + y + \floor{\frac{y}{4}} + \floor{\frac{c}{4}} - 2c\pmod 7 & \mbox{Gregorian calendar}\\ % d + \floor{\frac{26}{10}\pp{m+1}} + y + \floor{\frac{y}{4}} + 5 - c\pmod 7 & \mbox{Julian calendar} % \end{cases}\end{align*}where $d$ is the day of the month, $m$ is the number of the month, $y$ is the two digit year, $c$ is the century (so the four digit year is given by $100c+y$) and $w$ represents the day of the week (0 for Saturday through to 6 for Friday); January and February are counted as months 13 and 14 of the previous year. % % \makeatletter % The ordinal indicator of the date (in e.g. \number\day\textsuperscript{\euk@ordinal}, \number\day\euk@ordinal) is absent because its use is outdated. % \makeatother % % \section{Usage} % % The package is invoked with |\usepackage{eukdate}|. This package also defines \DescribeMacro{\weekday}|\weekday| to typeset |\today|'s day of the week and \DescribeMacro{\monthname}|\monthname| to typeset the name of |\today|'s month (`\weekday' and `\monthname' when this document was typeset). % % \subsection{Options} % % \begin{description} % \item[\sffamily no-weekday]Suppresses the weekday when typesetting |\today|, for example, `\number\day\ \monthname\ \number\year'. |\weekday| is still defined and can be used in the document. % \item[\sffamily ukdate]Typesets |\today| in \UK\ format, `\weekday, \number\day\ \monthname\ \number\year'. This option is applied by default, if the |usdate| option is not specified. % \item[\sffamily usdate]Typesets |\today| in \US\ format, `\weekday, \monthname\ \number\day, \number\year'. % \item[\sffamily gregorian]Calculates the day of the week according to the Gregorian calendar, which is the calendar that is generally used today. This option is applied by default, if the |julian| option is not specified. % \item[\sffamily julian]Calculates the day of the week according to the Julian calendar. However, since |\today|'s date is not \emph{today}'s date, as intepreted using the Julian calendar, this option is of limited use and can be safely ignored for every day use. % \end{description} % % \section{Why a new solution?} % % It is natural to ask `Why a new solution to this problem?' because surely, somebody has already dealt with the issue. This is true but other solutions tend to be cumbersome. A similar effect can be achieved with |\usepackage[australian]{babel}| or |\usepackage[english,cleanlook]{isodate}|, but these instances do not include the day of the week. The day of the week can be calculated separately with scripts like |dow| or |dayofweek|, but neither is automatically integrated into the definition of |\today|. The |datetime| package can do this with the |\longdate| command, but there are minor format issues, which can be fixed only by defining a new format. % % This package was created to offer a simple method to set the date using a format according to \emph{my} preferences in a way that is portable to each system. It supports only a handful of date formats and in no way aims to be comprehensive. % % \StopEventually{\PrintIndex} % \section{\textsf{eukdate.sty}} % \begin{macrocode} \newif\if@euk@noweekday \newif\if@euk@usdate \newif\if@euk@julian \DeclareOption{no-weekday}{\@euk@noweekdaytrue} \DeclareOption{ukdate}{\@euk@usdatefalse} \DeclareOption{usdate}{\@euk@usdatetrue} \DeclareOption{gregorian}{\@euk@julianfalse} \DeclareOption{julian}{\@euk@juliantrue} \ExecuteOptions{ukdate,gregorian} \ProcessOptions\relax % \end{macrocode} % \subsection{Zeller's congruence} % Actually, the equivalent congruence:\begin{align*}w &= \begin{cases} % d + \floor{\frac{26}{10}\pp{m+1}} + y + \floor{\frac{y}{4}} + \floor{\frac{c}{4}} + 5c\pmod 7 & \mbox{Gregorian calendar}\\ % d + \floor{\frac{26}{10}\pp{m+1}} + y + \floor{\frac{y}{4}} + 5 + 6c\pmod 7 & \mbox{Julian calendar} % \end{cases}\end{align*}is used instead of Zeller's, as claimed, to simplify the algorithm for the modulo operation. % \begin{macrocode} \newcounter{euk@date} \newcounter{euk@month} \newcounter{euk@century} \newcounter{euk@year} \setcounter{euk@date}{\number\day} \setcounter{euk@month}{\number\month} \setcounter{euk@century}{\number\year} \divide\c@euk@century by 100 \setcounter{euk@year}{\number\year} \addtocounter{euk@year}{-\theeuk@century00} \ifnum\number\theeuk@month<3 \addtocounter{euk@month}{13} \addtocounter{euk@year}{-1} \else \addtocounter{euk@month}{1} \fi \multiply\c@euk@month by 26 \divide\c@euk@month by 10 \addtocounter{euk@date}{\theeuk@month} \addtocounter{euk@date}{\theeuk@year} \divide\c@euk@year by 4 \addtocounter{euk@date}{\theeuk@year} \if@euk@julian \addtocounter{euk@date}{6\theeuk@century} \addtocounter{euk@date}{5} \else \addtocounter{euk@date}{5\theeuk@century} \divide\c@euk@century by 4 \addtocounter{euk@date}{\theeuk@century} \fi % \end{macrocode} % The modulo operation. % \begin{macrocode} \loop\ifnum6<\theeuk@date \addtocounter{euk@date}{-7} \repeat % \end{macrocode} % \subsection{Definitions} % \begin{macro}{\weekday} % Define |\weekday| to typeset the day of the week. % \begin{macrocode} \newcommand\weekday{% \ifcase\theeuk@date Saturday\or Sunday\or Monday\or Tuesday\or Wednesday\or Thursday\or Friday\fi} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % \begin{macro}{\monthname} % Define |\monthname| to typeset the month. % \begin{macrocode} \newcommand\monthname{% \ifcase\number\month\or January\or February\or March\or April\or May\or June\or July\or August\or September\or October\or November\or December\fi} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % \begin{macro}{\today} % Redefine |\today|. % \begin{macrocode} \def\today{% \if@euk@noweekday\else\weekday,\space\fi \if@euk@usdate \monthname\space\number\day,% \else \number\day\space\monthname \fi \space\number\year} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % An `undocumented' feature. % \begin{macrocode} \edef\euk@ordinal{% \ifcase\number\day\or st\or nd\or rd\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or st\or nd\or rd\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or th\or st\fi} % \end{macrocode} % \Finale \endinput
