730.0. "date" by DPDMAI::DAVISJ (Jerry Davis @DLO, Dallas - 451-2929) Wed Jul 29 1987 18:02

    I would like to change a design such that today's date is always
    put in the same place on a page.

    What does the <date> tag translate into ?  \date ?

    BTW where do I find all the definitions of all the tags and what
    they turn into ?
    
    Keep up the good work.
    
    
    Regards,
    
    Jerry

	Finding ther definition of a <TAG> is easy: make a small file, use the tag and do a DOCUMENT filename doctype dest /NOTEX an inspect the resulting filename.TEX. Normally the \texname \definitions are reasonably easy to identify by their name. If you need to go further ans see what these \macros are \expanded \into then do a SEARCH DOC$ROOT:.TEX,.DESIGN \definition which normally points you to the right file where it is defined. A book on this would be written for a future release of Document so we were told elsewhere in this file. As for <DATE>: it probably expands into something like \number\day \monthname \number\year (or variations on this for dd-mmm-yyyy, mm dd,yyyy etc) Theo
