| Subject: | %{ and %} do not work as the documentation says they should |
Hello,
The documentation for strftime says that %{ and %} are used to enclose
the part of the string which is to be replaced with the words "St.
Tib's
Day" if the current day is St. Tib's Day.
I used the format "%{%A, the %e day of %B%} in the YOLD
%Y%N%nCelebrate %H",
which using 'strings ddate', and it the result is " in the YOLD 3172".
Which looks wrong.
I've attached to this message a patch for Discordian.pm that does what
I understand the documenation says, and a patch for the test script.
Let me know if I was wrong,
Thanks!
