Sure; I hope you don't mind me pasting the whole code in here (what's the
best way to share macros on this group btw?)
I'm just starting up with js macros for TW so this one is not perfect
either. Anyway, any improvement ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Hubert

Macro to return an optionally fractional number of days between now and a
specified date and, optionally, time.
Required input:
<<DaysDiff YYYYMMDDHHMM>>
HH and MM are optional, when skipped then start of day (midnight) is assumed.
