texte = Hi,When creating a mathematical expression with [date] I don't seem to be able to add any other attributes:I need to work out when every next monday is for an online calendar.[showif [date format=%a]=Tue] [Math date]{[date]}+{00/06/0000}[/Math] [/showif]..produces the date plus 6 days. So far so good. But can I name this variable? Doesn't seem to work:[Math date]nextmonday={[date]}+{00/06/0000}[/Math] [nextmonday]..produces the figure 731537 which I can only assume is a syntax error on my part somewhere, but can't see what.(it's the same story with[Math date]nextmonday=({[date]}+{00/06/0000})[/Math] [nextmonday])In addition, I need to reformat the date so it is in the format 20021112, but adding in the attribute doesn't seem to work. Can I change the date format in a [math] context?[Math date]{[date format=%Y%m%d]}+{00000006}[/Math]? would be the ideal.Any help appreciated.Pat ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
