Yes, good point, but I've not enough knowledge about InsetExternal's to envisualize it. > I also don't get why Date is an InsetExternal.

IIRC date was a "proof of concept" for the External >inset. It could be removed, if we converted existing occurrences >to whatever its successor is. InsetDate ? -- date document was last edited, -- today's date, -- date when the inset was inserted, -- custom date, -- possibility to specify different formats. We could maybe also use this in the frontmatter. Vincent
