3. Spacing between numbers. Using LaTeX there were some suggestions to
typeset a date using small spaces like `29.\,8.\,2010`. I guess this
depends on the fonts used and personal taste? If there is a rule, maybe
that could be added to the typesetting chapter in the user manual.
Could you answer or give your opinions an 0., 2. and 3. please? That
would be great.
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,
The Chicago manual (14ed) says that slashed/dotted dates are bad style
and should be avoided and that one should use full month names instead.
Best wishes,
Taco
