Frontpage layout

Post by jannetta »

I tried a few things:

\usepackage[cleanlook]{isodate}
produces a date in this format: December 30, 2008

\usepackage[english]{isodate}
produces a date in this format: 30th December 2008

\usepackage[newzealand]{isodate}
produces a date in this format: 30 December 2008

adding \uspackage{babel} before any of the \usepackage[]{isodate} lines however, produces a date in this format again: December 30, 2008 or 30th December 2008 for [english]

using \usepackage[english]{isodate} and then \cleanlookdateon \today does produce the correct date (as per page 5, section 1.8), but \usepackage[cleanlook]{isodate} does not work for me.

In my MWE the language option english is given globally in the list for the document class to pass it also to the babel package. The cleanlook option is given when loading the package in the preamble. Both options together should yield the desired result (see attachment).

Code: Select all

\usepackage[cleanlook,english]{isodate}
