2005-03-08Improve "date invocation" again.Paul Eggert
2005-03-08(date invocation): Use an example that makes itPaul Eggert
clear tha the default date use space-padded day of month. Replace "directive" with "conversion specifier" to be consistent with POSIX. All uses changed. Fix menu RHS to match actual directive lists. (Time conversion specifiers): Renamed from Time directives. Use @samp consistently, sometimes instead of @code. Consistently ention which specifiers are GNU extensions. Give more examples (in some cases, instead of ranges). Say why %F is preferred for dates. (Date conversion specifiers): Renamed from Date directives. Likewise for other changes. (Padding and other flags): Correct the description. Document #. Give an example for %9B.

2005-02-24* coreutils.texi: Adjust to match current strftime.c.Paul Eggert
2005-02-24(Time directives): Say that %k, %l, and %P arePaul Eggert
GNU extensions. For %p and %P, mention handling of noon and midnight. For %s, use ISO 8601, and mention handling of leap seconds. For %S, clarify mention of leap seconds. For %T, say that it's the same as %H:%M:%S. For %X, don't say that it must be the same as %H:%M:%S. For %z and %Z, clarify which time zones are used. These options are now affected by --date, so don't claim that they're not. (Date directives): %C is now all but the last two chars of %Y. For %D, say that it's equivalent to %m/%d/%y. For %e, use blank in example. For %h, use @code for %b. For %Y, mention what happens with outlandish years. (Padding and other flags): Renamed from Padding. Mention that the flags are GNU extensions. Mention the 0 and ^ flags. Mention field widths an modifiers. (Examples of date): - is a flag, not a modifier.
