you're so right.  IIRC I use it in some files, too.  *Banging my head

, is used as Org macro arguments separator. So that needs to be escaped
with a backslash.

Try:

{{{date(%A\, %B %e\, %Y)}}

[O] export of formatted date macro fails

[Robert Klein]

Hi,

when I export a formatted date via the {{{date}}} macro _and_ use e.g.
commas and/or spaces, I only get the first component in the exported
file (tested for HTML and PDF export).


E.g. in my document I have a date:

#+DATE: [2008-11-09 Sun 11:00]


and later the macro

{{{date(%A, %B %e, %Y)}}

The exported document only has the "Sunday" (%A) part of the date.

Same for {{{date(%A,%B%e,%Y)}}.


So far I see (org-timestamp-format timestamp "%A, %B %e, %Y") works for
a timestamp created by (org-element-timestamp-parser).

I don't understand the macro code at all (e.g.. org-macro-replace-all).


Versions are:

Org mode version 9.1.1 (release_9.1.1-7-g226d2f
@ /home/roklein/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp/)

GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-openbsd, GTK+ Version 2.24.31) of
2017-09-26


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Best regards
Robert
