unfortunately I can only come up with a negative answer: I skimmed the Bringhurst and although he does discuss date strings with slashes as separators, I could not find anything concerning their spacing. As you guessed, “personal taste” might be a valid criterion in this matter. Maybe you should redirect this question to http://typophile.com/forums, but make sure to come back with a definite answer ;-) Philipp > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the > Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
