To Control the Format of the Date
The configuration file option todays_date_note_format controls the initial format of the date displayed in a drawing. The format for the setting is a string consisting of three portions: the year, the month, and the date. You can enter the portions in any order. The default value is %dd-%Mmm-%yy.
• Year
◦ %yy, for 97
◦ %yyyy, for 1997
• Month (if the month contains two digits (for example, 10),% mm, % m, or % m all produce the same result)
◦ %Mmm, for Jan
◦ %MMM, for JAN
◦ %Month, for January
◦ %MONTH, for JANUARY
◦ %mm, for 01
◦ %m, for 1
◦ % m, for <space>1
• Date (if 2 digits are needed to represent the date, all three are the same. Therefore, "%dd %mm %yy" produces "01 01 97," and "%MMM %d %yyyy" produces "JAN 1 1997")
◦ %dd, for 01
◦ %d, for 1
◦ % d, for <space>1.
The following formats are also valid:
• %dd-%Mmm-%yy (= 01-Jan-97)
• %mm/%dd/%yy (= 01/01/97)
• %Mmm %dd,%yyyy (= Jan 01, 1997)
