[Therion] Is it possible to reformat output of currentdate tex variable

[bruce at tomo.co.nz]

> \currentdate contains actually only a string preformatted by Therion according to the locale set on the system. It should be enough to set your date formatting on Windows.

 

It should be enough, although it does mean the same project on different devices is likely to produce differing outputs.  It had been my approach with Windows 10, which had a reasonable number of options, amongst them d Mmm yyyy, which is what I prefer.

Windows 11 has, for my locale, just two options, d/mm/yyyy and d/mm/yy.

 

I did consider using an example http://www.alfredklomp.com/programming/tex/macros/ (section 2) that we discussed in 2011.  That is now in 404! land and I did not keep a copy.  

I’m an eternal tex novice and more recently an ai luddite.
