Hi list,
I was wondering if there is a "\time" equivalent similar to "\currentdate" ->
"\date"?
I know from the wiki (and source) that there is "\currenttime", but "\time[h=8, m=30]"
will not typeset "8:30", so it doesn't seem to be implemented. I understand that such an
implementation might become arbitrarily complicated …
In fact, I'm trying to typeset durations like "3:30 min" which is not exactly a
"time" either, but neither \unit{3:30 minute} nor a math formula achieve the expected
rendering. Of course, one could just type it plainly, but maybe this little gap is worthwhile
considering in a future version. :-)
%D A (simple) time formatter:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D time : \the\time
%D time current : \time[method=current] % hh:mm:ss
%D time start : \time[method=start] % hh:mm:ss startup time
%D time here : \time[method=here] % hh:mm:ss time since startup
%D time m : \time[m=100] % hh:mm
%D time s : \time[s=3661] % hh:mm:ss
%D \stoptyping
So a few more times as we had these available anyway. In next upload but
then you need to wikify it pending setups,
