Hi, I just regenerated some documentation in a project of mine using the DocBook XSL Stylesheets v1.75.2, and noticed that the generated date at the man page is in the US date format:
.\" Date: 04/25/2010 [...] .TH "GPST" "1" "04/25/2010" "[FIXME: source]" "[FIXME: manual]" This is ambiguous and prone to errors when the date is for example "01/02/03". Is it 2003-02-01, 2003-01-02, or even 2001-02-03? The correct thing to do here, is to use the [international date format][1], using yyyy-mm-dd instead of mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy. I've studied the source code in SVN, but haven't come up with a patch yet, as I'm totally new to the code base. And anyway, it's better to first send a mail to the list about this. I've uploaded an example of this to <http://gist.github.com/378643>, which is a full example with source and generated files. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 Cheers, Øyvind A.
